[06.06.03] Written by: Bob Pinter 8-1 The Wisconsin Wannabes suffered their first loss of the PWFBL season in Week 9...at the hands of an unlikely winner. The Hummels Wharf Braves broke out of a five-week slump to score 312 points to Wisconsin's 278. 'Bees owner Sue Conn was missing in action for the first few days of the week on a camping trip, but when she returned to the field Friday, things fell apart. Tom Glavine was shelled in his lone appearance of the week while the Wannabes' lineup looked shell-shocked, leading to a score of -4. The Braves, meanwhile, saw Wade Miller start to regain last year's form, going the distance behind three hits from Chipper Jones. Hummels Wharf, not known for having strong weekends, got help from fellow struggling starter Roy Oswalt to close out the win. "Our pitching staff is really starting to come together," Braves CEO Bob Pinter told reporters. "Ever since we picked up Keith (Foulke) and Billy (Koch) we're guaranteed some points almost every day." Despite the smiles in Hummels Wharf, the Braves were eclipsed by Michigan in the points department. The Twinkies put up 350 against Rocko and currently hold a two-game lead over the Braves in the Mars Division. They'll look to beat up on another hapless team, the Seattle Skunks, in Week 10. Seattle lost to Providence, who will try to make it three wins in a row against the Braves. Wisconsin looks to right its own ship against Rocko this week. [06.02.03] Written by: Sue Conn Wannabes Get Stung Oh how the mighty have fallen! Wisconsin's reign as undefeated has come to an end at the hands of the Hummels Wharf Braves. They say pitching is what wins championships and the starting rotation for Wisconsin this week stunk it up. Behind poor outings from both Maddux and Glavine, the Wannabes fall to 8-1 and head into division matchup with Rocko. Owner/GM Sue of the Wannabes said, "When the cat's away, the mice will play. That's the last mini-vacation I take during the season hoping my staff knows how to behave themselves and win games." Hummels Wharf had the game in the bag early in the week. Elsewhere in Fantasy Baseball: Michigan looked menacing this week trouncing the Leopards 350.0 to 216. The up and down season continues for Rocko who faces a tough opponent in Wisconsin this week. Michigan is proving to be a force to be reckoned with as the season goes on and heads into a division battle with Seattle in Week 10. Providence thoroughly handled the Skunks this week showing the Plague's power. Owner/Gm Libzie's Plague put up the 3 300 point game of the week to ink another W. The strong performance this week and domination of the Skunks puts Providence in a good spot heading into a tough week. Although the Plague seems to have had the Hummels Wharf Braves ticket this year, Owner/GM Bob is riding high after knocking the Wannabes off this week.
