Four time EWL champions Shady Characters came into week 8 mired in a six game losing streak, but Tom snapped them out of it with one of the best outings on the mound by any pitcher this season and by racking up base hits across two big wins that showed the former champs are still contenders. Offenses wilted in the week 8 summer heat, but Tom shined, and as a result, he was named Pabst Blue Ribbon Wiffler of the Week for week 8.
In a 3-1 win over Guac Boys, Tom went 2-for-4 with a single, a solo homer, a run scored, and two RBI, and he pitched the complete game win, allowing only one run on three hits.
In a 10-5 win over Jack Shack, he went 5-for-6 with three singles, a double, a home run, two runs scored, and two RBI.
In total, Tom went 7-for-10 with four singles, a double, two home runs, three runs scored, and four RBI in two big Shady Characters wins.
This is the eighth time Tom has been named Wiffler of the Week in his wiffle career, and the second time this season. He also earned the honors in 2021, 2022, 2024, 2025, and twice in 2023.
