Pre-Tournament Rankings - #5

With less than a week to go before tournament day and anticipation building, we continue to preview each of the teams taking part in the Spring 2014 Mill Creek Park Wiffleball Tournament and provide them with a pre-tournament ranking.  We will count down from 8 to 1 with the # 5 ranked side today and unveiling the pre-tournament #1 on Thursday.

The #5 spot in the pre-tournament rankings goes to Benchwarmers.  Fabio Nieto and Arvind Patel represent one of 3 returning teams from the Fall 2013 Tournament.  Its hard to classify if their 2013 campaign was a success or not.  The pair did lock up the 4th playoff position, however, they do so with a meager 1-3 record in round-robin play.  A 2-0 semi-final loss to eventual tournament champions The Dewskis ended their
chances. Benchwarmers only win came against the lifeless Bald by Choice, by the count of 9-0.  That one game would account for 9 of the 10 runs they scored all day, in 5 games, not pretty.  They were, however, competitive in every game they played, never losing by more than 2 runs and never giving up more than 3 in any game.  Both players are hoping that spring not only wakes up nature, but their bats as well, as they battle to once again make the final four.

Check back daily as we reveal the ranking for the last 4 teams participating in the Spring 2014 Tournament.  We continue the countdown with the #4 ranked side tomorrow, the #3 ranked team on Wednesday and the #2 and #1 teams on Thursday.
