It’s Wifflefest time at the Southview Grace Brethren Church in Ashland, Ohio (Mark Abel, pastor).
The tourney features a game that is much like backyard baseball, except with four players instead of nine, and wiffleballs instead of baseballs. The four players are a pitcher, catcher, and two fielders. They also play on fields that have been built to 3/10 the scale of actual Major League stadiums.
