Courtlen of Cheap Goats Named Pabst Blue Ribbon Wiffler of the Week

18 Aug

Cheap Goats have struggled to climb out of the basement of the EWL standings throughout the year, but one of the bright spots of their 2024 campaign has been the monster productivity delivered by Courtlen, who has turned in one of the best rookie seasons in recent wiffle memory. He has been a force at the plate, consistently among the league leaders in most offensive categories, and after another big week, he was voted Wiffler of the Week for week 9 of the 2024 EWL season.

In a 3-2 loss to Jack Shack, Courtlen went 2-for-4 with a double, a home run, a run scored, and an RBI.

In a 9-7 comeback win over Guac Boys, he went 4-for-5 with a double, two triples, a home run, two runs scored, and three RBI.

In total, Courtlen went 6-for-9 with two doubles, two triples, two home runs, three runs scored, and four RBI, setting the high mark for offensive production during the lowest scoring week of the 2024 season to date.

This is the first time Courtlen has received Wiffler of the Week honors in his short wiffle career.
