Ballhawk League : Week 14

The Ballhawk League entered it’s second half this week.  Here’s a run down of week 14 of 26:

• Greg Barasch wins week 14 with a stellar 22 ball effort.  Greg is no stranger to the top spot, capturing a win in week 12 with 36 balls snagged.

• Nick Pelescak made a trip from Pittsburgh to Minnesota.  He managed to snag a ball despite large crowds who flocked to the Metrodome to see the Yankees

• Alex did not attend any games this week, allowing Greg to pass him and take sole possession of 4th place in the league.  Alex has been in the top 4 since the ballhawk league began.  He only drops one spot to 5th place.

• Happy Youngster picks up an eight ball cushion over Erik Jabs, outsnagging him by 7 balls this week

• There’s been a Gary Kowal sighting, as he checks in after a two week disappearance.  Kowal is up to 56 balls now.

• Mike In Detroit posted some respectable numbers this week, and pushed himself into triple digits, joining eight others in the league to do so this year

• Zack Hample jumped from third to first place in the competition factor category, making him first in every major category except for hit balls snagged.

• Anyone heard anything from Shawn?
