Adam of Jack Shack Named Pabst Blue Ribbon Wiffler of the Week

8 Aug

After five weeks of domination to start the first half of the season, in which five of Shady Characters’ six regular players won Wiffler of the Week to start the year, Adam became the first player not wearing a Shady Characters uniform to win Wiffler of the Week in 2022 after a big showing in week 6. He helped Jack Shack continue their climb out of the bottom of the standings, as his team earned a split in their week 6 games.

In a 5-3 win over Cheap Goats, Adam went 2-for-5 with a triple, a home run, two runs scored, and an RBI. His home run led off the game for Jack Shack, the seventh leadoff homer of Adam’s wiffle career.

In an 8-5 loss to the Guac Boys, Adam went 3-for-4 with a triple, two homers, three runs scored, and three RBI.

In total, Adam went 5-for-9 with five extra-base hits, including two triples, three homers (one of which was a leadoff home run), five runs scored, and four RBI.

Surprisingly, this is the first time Adam has been named Wiffler of the Week in his wiffle career.
