New team, the Mighty Ducks, wins the 2011 Winston-Salem Wiffleball League championship. Congratulations to the WSWL Mighty Ducks for taking out the 2010 champions - the Kenny Powers Krew (KPK). The Mighty Ducks didn't really have an impressive season, finishing with a 6-6 record. The Ducks defeated the Red Faces in the first round of the playoffs then won against the Meerkats in the second round. Then in the semi-finals the Ducks sent KPK to the loser's bracket. KPK beat the Meerkats then had a rematch against the Ducks for the championship. Here's the playoff bracket. This team really pulled it together when it mattered...in the playoffs. I never would have guessed that a team with 3 out of 4 of its players being rookies could take the championship. They were 1-3 against the 2nd place Meerkats and 0-3 against KPK in the regular season. The odds were against them but they somehow managed to pull off the ultimate upset.
Congrats to the Ducks! I love it when underdogs / new teams win :)
ReplyDeleteMe too. It blows me away that 3 out of 4 of the team members were rookies! They weren't only underdogs...they were inexperienced, which is bad news in a league with tough competition.
