Jason continued to leave an indelible mark on the 2023 season and the EWL record book, crushing opposing pitchers in week 7 and powering Shady Characters to a commanding lead in the season standings. After tying the single-game home run record for the second time this season and standing alone as the only player in the last five years to hit five homers in a game, Jason was voted Wiffler of the Week for week 7 of the 2023 season.

In a 7-6 win over Jack Shack, Jason went 3-for-6 with a single, two home runs, two runs scored, and two RBI.

In a 20-12 win over Cheap Goats, Jason had one of the best games in EWL history, going 7-for-8 with a single, a double, five home runs, six runs scored, and nine RBI.

Jason joined Bob as one of the only two players in EWL history to hit five home runs in a game twice.

In total, Jason went 10-for-14 with two singles, a double, seven home runs, eight runs scored, and eleven RBI.

This is the sixth time Jason has been voted Wiffler of the Week in his wiffle career. He was voted Wiffler of the Week earlier this season after a historic performance in week 4, and he also earned the honor three times in 2022 and twice in 2021.

Bohn pitched a complete game win, allowing only one run on five hits, Alec had five extra-base hits which included three homers and two triples, and Tone went 5-for-5 with a career-high three bombs in one of the most lopsided games of the 2023 season.

Brum singled, and Form hit a two-run homer to center, extending the lead to 8-1. Tone then homered, and the second pair of consecutive home runs in the inning made the score 9-1. Bohn singled, and Jack Shack turned to the bullpen, bringing Ryan to the mound. The first batter he faced, Alec, his an RBI triple, scoring Bohn, and the Guac Boys lead was 10-1.

Dinger delivers a pitch to Jason, who tied the single-game EWL record for home runs, with five, in Shady Characters 20-12 victory over Cheap Goats
