In week 4 the Fish Sticks scored 32 runs over their two games, and they were led by Ivan, who was voted the Pabst Blue Ribbon Wiffler of the Week for the fourth week of the 2012 EWL season.
In a 15-3 win over Downtown Bobby Brown, Ivan went 5 for 8, falling a single short of the cycle with 2 doubles, a triple, 2 homers, while scoring 5 runs and collecting 3 RBI. He also made his first career pitching appearance, throwing a scoreless inning and recording a strikeout.
Ivan’s second game was even more impressive, as he led the Sticks to a 17-8 romp over the Caucasians. He went 7 for 9 with 3 singles, 3 doubles, and a home run, scored 6 runs, and drove in 4 runs. His 3 doubles tied a single-game league record. He was pounded hard in 1/2 inning of relief pitching, and made a putout in the field.
His outstanding performance at the plate moved him to the top of the league leaders in batting average and runs scored. In 17 at-bats he hit .706 for the week, scoring 11 runs in only 2 games.
Ivan is the third rookie in four weeks of the EWL season to earn Wiffler of the Week honors, and is the first Fish Stick to claim the honor during the 2012 season.
Mark, of Downtown Bobby Brown, also received votes, as he went 8 for 10 with a double, 3 homers, 3 RBI and 6 runs scored in a win and a loss for his team in week 4, including a 5 for 5 performance in the win.
Ivan was constantly on base and scored 11 of the Fish Sticks 32 runs in two week 4 blow-outs
