The Pedestrians Walk Away with Indoor War Senior Circuit Title

Throwin’ Smoke and White Out Claim Championships

The dust has settled, the results are in, and all the bat tape and candy wrappers have been swept from the floor.  The Ephrata Invitational Wiffle Ball Tournament has once again come and gone leaving a record-shattering 39 teams and spectators with a weekend full of memories; however for a select few, those memories are extra special; etched into name plates on their trophies as champions of their respective divisions.  For the Ephrata high school baseball program and the Ephrata Baseball Association, the 17th edition of the tournament was special for other reasons.  “The annual fundraiser was the biggest success in the tourney's 17-year history.  Not only did we surpass our team participation total; we shattered records in attendance, concession sales, and merchandise sales, making this year's event the most successful fundraiser ever,” remarked Mounts head coach Adrian Shelley.  “The turnout, and the volunteer effort turned in by so many selfless individuals, never ceases to amaze me.  We are genuinely appreciative of the collective effort from the baseball community.” 

 Senior Circuit Recap
Onto recapping the action, as The Pedestrians claimed the coveted prize of champions of the Senior Circuit (high school division) by upsetting last year’s champs The Redbirds by a score of 4-0.  The Redbirds had sent The Pedestrians into the non-winner’s bracket earlier in the afternoon; however, The Pedestrians would eventually avenge their only loss when the two teams faced each other again in the championship game.  This time, with a title on the line, The Pedestrians’ Chris Fassnacht provided instant excitement via the grand slam, poking a fastball out of the park in the bottom of the first inning.  That one swing of the bat would prove the difference as a combination of pitchers shut down the Redbirds to seal the victory.  Pedestrians’ ace Jordan Eberly was named the circuit’s Cy Young Award, while teammate Dusten Rutt earned the Senior Circuit Most Valuable Player Award.

Junior Circuit Recap
In the Junior Circuit (middle school division), a repeat performance in the title game handed Throwin’ Smoke their second consecutive championship winning, once again, 1-0 over their opponent.  This time, it was Tate-n-Tots who fell victim to Smoke, getting blanked in the finale.  Logan Rutt earned MVP honors, while teammate Blake Reiff was named Cy Young.

 Rookie Circuit Recap
Finally, in the Rookie Circuit (elementary division), the all-Ephrata team of White Out ruled the day defeating the Backyard Boys from Lititz 7-1 in the championship game.  Ashton Sensenig was crowned Most Valuable Player, while teammate Zach Lefever was named Cy Young for his pitching heroics.
