Anderson/Luers outlast Iverson/Flyger for WIF Championship
     Anderson/Luers had their closest call of the year, but scored five unearned runs and capitalized on every opportunity to hold off Iverson/Flyger 14-12 and claim the Parker Knox Championship Trophy in the first ever WIF title game.
     Earlier in the night, Fisher/Fossen had stayed in the AL Championship for a while, but they amassed only 10 hits to AL's 19 in an 11-4 defeat. Iverson/Flyger showed again they are the comeback kids, scoring two in the bottom of the 6th and held off Hall/Tobin 8-7.

All top seeds advance in playoffs
     Anderson/Luers blew out Hight/Friez to start the night. Then three games that came down to the last at bat saw the three higher seeded teams, Iverson/Flyger, Fisher/Fossen and Hall/Tobin, all advance to the league championship games.
     Thursday night will be the championship night, as the two league championships begin at 6 p.m., then the title game takes place at 7:30. Here's a complete look at Thursday's WIF Championship night, culminating in the presentation of the Parker Knox WIF Championship Trophy.

Playoffs start Tuesday
     Chris Iverson and Tyler Merriam combined to take every award a senior guy could take, and they collide at 6:45 in the NL's 1 vs. 4 game. Anderson/Luers looks to defend is undefeated streak as the favorites take on hapless Hight/Friez. Fisher/Fossen must avoid a let down against Williams/Simon. And in the nightcap is the most intriguing matchup. Hall/Tobin came from behind to defeat Kern/Tillman in the regular season, and despite the fact that both teams are 3-3 and HT has the higher seed, the polls have Kern/Tillman ahead. It's a big night for the Wiffleball Intramural Federation, action starts at 6 p.m. in the Riggs High Gym.

Anderson, Merriam, Iverson take multiple awards
     The end of the year WIF awards were voted on by members of the Riggs Intramural Alliance, and the captain of the undefeated Anderson/Luers, Pat Anderson, cleaned up. Anderson was voted MVP of both the entire WIF and the American League, along with receiving Male Captain of the Year, Senior of the Year, and Best Hitter for the AL.
     Tyler Merriam, who was an umpire the first night, took home four awards as well: National League Senior of the Year, Best Hitter and Best Fielder for the NL, and the Inspiration Award.
     The Inspiration Award was added to honor a player from each league who left an indeliable mark on WIF. Merriam and Brian Pope received those awards for their respective awards.
     Chris Iverson was the only other player to take home multiple awards, getting NL MVP and NL Male Captain of the Year. Here is a complete run down of the awards.

Anderson/Luers top final RIA WIF poll
     For the final time this year, the Riggs Intramural Alliance voted the top eight teams in the Wiffleball Intramural Federation, and to no suprise undefeated Anderson/Luers took the No. 1 spot. AL took all eight top votes for the second straight week. Fisher/Fossen, with their win over Iverson/Flyger, edged out IF for the No. 2 spot. Kern/Tillman then received No. 4 by two points over Hall/Tobin, who beat KT in their regular season matchup.

Anderson/Luers survive scare, Fisher/Fossen get big win on final Tuesday of season
     Top-ranked Anderson/Luers needed a furious comeback to stay undefeated and prove they could win under adversity, winning in the final inning 25-21 over No. 7 Johnson/Wilbur. Then No. 3 Fisher/Fossen ended their two-game skid and Iverson/Flyger's four-game winning streak with a 9-8 win to wrap up WIF regular season play.
     Hall/Tobin and Kern/Tillman each had to overcome adversity to pull out close wins over overmatched opponents, and the squads will meet in the playoffs this Tuesday.
     Also decided on Tuesday was the final pairings for the Wiffleball Intramural Federation postseason, to be released later on tonight, with official times and pairings.

Playoff matchups finalized, No. 2 meets No. 3 on last night of regular season
     The final positions in the National League playoffs, and a potential title game preview take place this Tuesday night as the first regular season in Wiffleball Intramural Federation history comes to an end in the Riggs High Gym.
     Iverson/Flyger, who nearly forced the first tie in the RIA WIF poll's illustrious history, are ranked No. 2 and they meet No. 3 Fisher/Fossen in prime time, first pitch scheduled at 8:15.
     Before that, the final placements in the Wiffleball Intramural Federation Playoffs will be decided as well. Hall/Tobin takes on Williams/Simon at 6 p.m., and then Kern/Tillman meets Hight/Friez at 6:45 p.m. KT and HT are currently tied for the No. 2 spot in the National League, with HT's come-from-behind upset last week of Kern/Tillman providing the tiebreaking advantage to them.
     Johnson/Wilbur, who has the task of top-ranked Anderson/Luers at 7:30, would need to pull off the greatest upset in the new millenium and has both Hall/Tobin and Kern/Tillman lose to force a three-way tie. That's the only way they could get out of the NL cellar. If only one of the two squads lose and JW wins, then JW remains fourth because they lost all three of their NL contests.
CHECK THIS OUT: Johnson/Wilbur are on the verge of shattering every offensive mark in the WIF recordbook. The key is, its their opponents that are doing it. After No. 2 Iverson/Flyger won the biggest blowout in the rich history of the Wiffleball Intramural Federation, they take on top-ranked Anderson/Luers. Currently, team AL is ranked second in four of the seven WIF offensive categories, trailing only Iverson/Flyger due to their 43-5 win over JW. So what's ahead after the AL game....More than likely, a first round meeting with Iverson/Flyger. The fact that the games only go seven innings may be all that stop these games from hitting the century mark in runs scored.

Anderson/Luers narrowly hold top spot in poll
     Iverson/Flyger ripped apart the WIF record books this past Tuesday night, and despite the fact that Anderson/Luers claimed the Game of the Century, they barely hung on over Iverson/Flyger to the top spot in the Riggs Intramural Alliance WIF Poll.
     Of the eight members of the RIA that were polled this week, five ranked AL first, three put IF first. Neither team was ranked below second in any poll. Anderson/Luers, with the extra top vote, scored 61 of a possible 64 points, Iverson/Flyger 59.
     Fisher/Fossen has lost two straight, but they still hang on to the No. 3 spot in the poll by virtue that they are the only other squad above .500. Kern/Tillman had held the No. 4 spot going into last week, but Hall/Tobin upset them.
     However, some pollsters were not impressed with KT, others felt the same of HT, so the two tied for fourth. Williams/Simon, Johnson/Wilbur and Hight/Friez round out this week's poll.
