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

18 Jul

Josh has been on a tear over the last month, crushing opposing pitchers during one of the hottest streaks of his wiffle career, and opposing teams almost expect him to leadoff games with a homer. He led off both week 6 games with home runs, carried Jack Shack to two victories to start the second half, and he was voted Wiffler of the Week for week 6 of the 2024 season.

In an 11-7 win over Cheap Goats, Josh went 4-for-7 with a double, a triple, two home runs, three runs scored, and five RBI.

In a 14-3 win over Shady Characters, he went 5-for-7 with a single, a double, three home runs, four runs scored, and seven RBI.

In total, Josh had what may have been the best week of his wiffle career, going 9-for-14 with a single, two doubles, a triple, five home runs (two leadoff homers), seven runs scored, and twelve RBI.

This is the seventh time Josh has been voted Wiffler of the Week during his wiffle career (2016 – twice, 2019 – twice, 2021, 2023), and the first time since the final week of the 2023 regular season.
