Phillies step up big tonight in what had the look, feel, and touch of the postseason which is right around the corner. The series was 7-7 in score but the Phillies took two of three. Game 1 featured @dakota.jackson.750 and @donnychrysler trading frames with the different maker being a two-run @ryan_huber82 (16th) homerun. In Game 2, @feedthemachine94 took the hill for the Phill’s and picked up a #papaslam but @ryan_huber82 picked up one of his own (17) to make it a one run game but, the Dodgers had bases loaded twice between the 3rd and 5th (besides the grand slam) and couldn’t execute the tying run. Dakota came in, in the fifth with one out to pick up a save with a strike out. In Game 3, the “new guys” @edin_h__ and @mattaaskew squared off and went 9 innings! Askew had 17 #punchouts , took a #nohitter into the 5th inning, and gave up a leadoff base runner in every inning from the 5th and on but the Phillies didn’t execute. Edin fresh off of some success in RI but seeking some redemption, took it out on the Phillies pitching the #CG and scoring the winning run off of a Dakota single with one out in the bottom of the 9th. Dodgers need to have success against the Pirates and Phillies in the coming weeks to move up and make a run in the postseason seeing most of their final games will be against them. Phillies will return in 10 hours for a #doubleheader against the Bucs! The push to the #Postseason is on! #wiffle #wiffleball #FridayNightWiffle #wiffletv #powerpitching #pitching #lowscores #DonnyDazzle #BigKEWnit #DaKotaExperience #shutout

It’s #Marathon #Weekend at Colonie Wiffleball. 7 games in three days which was actually set to be more but we backed off a bit. It’s going to be a fun one as teams catch up in games played and finish off their season head to heads against each team. Each team is going to end up with about 52-55 games played!! Never had 4 teams play at least 50 in a season yet in league history 🤞. But, we also have 17 days until the last day of the season. Some teams need a little bit of everything...players to qualify, rotations to set, and games to catch up. While at the same time you got standings races for playoff seeding, #ROY races, #MVP #races , tournament and postseason activities being planned. Needless to say, it is going to be a long month ahead but an exciting one to see in how it all will unfold.... #wiffle #wiffleball #wiffletv #falliscoming #postseason2019 #settingthestage #itsarace

#GameofThrows Post 1: We first want to thank the #mickfenway league for hosting us. We couldn’t be more proud of our guys! A group of 12 mostly composed of first time tournament players and rookies went above and beyond expectations against some good talent and real home-based rules. Colonie Empire and Premier went 5-5 in the tournament and placed 2nd and 3rd. The ‘Premier’ team split in their first two (mercy included) where as the ‘Empire’ team went 0-2 in the hole. #RoadLegs were definitely a factor the teams especially Empire. But, facing elimination they went to @pat41592 on the hill for starts, Edin out of the pen, and Alen as well. @milyadis went 13 for 22 with a homer, @mrantonio21 had a homer, @feedthemachine94 homered, @girgentlemen homered, @geofesty66 homered, @joshua1555 homered twice, and rookie @mattaaskew had some clutch hits against some quality pitching. The tournament turned a little bit towards the end as the Colonie teams went to the final four together and the structure and rules seemed to sway a bit but no matter, the Empire team came back from the dead and advanced to the championship. To this point they had a 3.23 ERA, 45+K’s, averaged less than 3 hits allowed in all of the games despite a couple of high scoring affairs and put everything together to start picking up W’s. Premier was led by @hunter_nauman , Josh, and Jorge on the hill. @jack_oriley and @joeypalatsky stepped up and didn’t seem to crumble under the pressure of the tourney, again, these are rookies!! The championship game between Brawlers and Empire went to extras with Ilyadis, Gadani, and @edin_h__ leading the way on the hill with 12 K’s before the brawlers walked it off. @feedthemachine94 came through with a big, two run single in the second, pushing aside the woes of earlier in the tourney. We often told people throughout the tournament that we were even missing 5-6 of our elite guys and they were mesmerized by it. Again, we are so proud of our guys and what they did. We can’t wait to see the Mick Fenway crew in a potential return journey and a road trip for them to us towards the end of our season!

@milyadis has evened the race at the top hitting three homers in the series this past Sunday against the Pirates. @pat41592 got to number 17 as he sets his sights on another career milestone of 20 homers. @ryan_huber82 looks to go get to 20 as well. If he does, he would be the first #rookie in 10 years to hit at least 20 homers in a season since @keaner92 hit 21 in 2009. The highest mark of 38 is held by Tom R. from his rookie campaign in 2005. There will be no games this weekend as ‘The Game of Throws’ #tournament kicks off tomorrow’s in Rhode Island. This leaves 3 weeks until the end of the season. Who’s coming out on top? Who’s going to set records? And who will come up short? We will find out.... #wiffle #wiffleball #NYtoRhody #sluggers #homers #wiffletv #mvp #heavyhitters

The Road to Rhody continues as we are under 48 hours away from the Game Of Throws tournament where Colonie Empire and Colonie Premier will invade Portsmouth, Rhode Island and will be looking to return home the winner. #wiffleball #colonie #rhodeisland #premier #empire #gameofthrows #winordie #savages #invasion

#DontWorry #BeHappy

We want to welcome our first third generation player Mr. Owen Kalpaxis! Son of the great, 241 homerun hitting, Manny K. (@alexthegr8_1 ). We were so excited about this when we heard the news and we hope to see him one day playing like his dad did and hope he’s dreaming of the field now and maybe his own home-field in the future ;) . His dad was prone to producing some of the coolest WS moments like in 2004 and 2008 with his #KirkGibson esque walkoffs. Or some of the funnier moments like the liner he took off the face in the 2006 WS. Although, we hope they come without the injuries attached which Manny was no stranger to. We miss him and we know he will be back soon. But for now everyone say hello to Owen and congratulations to Mandy and Manny!! We can’t wait to meet you and welcome to the family!! #nextgen #wiffle #wiffleball #wiffleballjunior #thirdgen #Gen3 #familygame #BabyK #generations

We’ve had 11 #rookies this year. Definitely the most amount in a long time. Everyone of them has their own unique strength that they bring. Some of them play really good defense, some are finding their niche and have played a ton of games relatively quickly, adapting to how the league works. These 5 (4 being teammates) have definitely exceeded expectations especially facing some quality pitching with limited numbers of at bats. @ryan_huber82 and @donnychrysler are definitely the standouts on the pitching and hitting sides with high strikeout totals, good batting averages, and homers. But then you got guys like @mattaaskew who’ve been clutch all year long with multiple #walkoff hits and game tying hits while maintaining a good average. He is most definitely the secret weapon for pitching going ahead for the Dodgers. @joeypalatsky has been clutch as of late and picking up in the power department and eats a lot of innings for the Dodgers. Then there’s the “new guy” @joshua1555 who has played 20 games in a month and is trying to get into the postseason for the Yanks. Strikeout numbers, homeruns, average, and innings numbers are all there. A couple of blemishes here and there but that’s the growing pains. Josh is also trying to make his case for the #ROY award this year in a short amount of time. He will soon have the at bats and innings to justify it. They’ve all been good and we will see how they do with their first postseason only 3+ weeks away. It’s been an exciting season and it gets the vets all excited. Even guys like @jack_oriley have come a long way, hitting his first homer a couple of weeks back, @jasonpalatsky learning essentially everything on the fly and playing a ton of games rather quickly for the Phillies. Lots to consider with the ROY at the end of the year. And where is @hunter_nauman ????? #babybombers #wiffle #wiffleball #rookie #freshmanclass #11 #wiffletv #ROY #thefutureisbright
