In Harris, OH, there is a Wiffle ball league on the rise that starts on June 5th. Connor Barr, a Freshman at Woodmore High School, is starting up a Wiffle Ball League in his backyard. The league started last year, but didn’t have many teams. But this year, many teams are joining the league. All teams are buying Jerseys and team banners to represent their team.
There are 9 teams representing the league, with 3 players on each team. For each team, you can have 2 baseball players and 1 non-baseball player. There will be 3 tournaments, and each team will play at least six games. For the bat the league uses the standard yellow bat and normal wiffle ball with holes on one side. Then there will be a final tournament to crown the champion. To find more information on the league, go to @bwbl40 on Instagram.
