Leprechauns Putting the Process in Motion
ROLLING PRAIRIE- Can the Leprechauns turn things around this year? That is the question on all of Lynn street’s fan’s minds after their Opening Day sweep over the Silver Sluggers.

Why this Wiffle®?
Why do you play Wiffle®Ball the way you play Wiffle®Ball? You could ask that question of any league, tournament, or association across the country and hear a different answer each time. There is probably no other sport with a greater variation in rules than wiffleball. Very few leagues or tournaments use the official rules that come inside the box with a new ball.
