About Us
E Force Wiffleball made its roots in 2007 as Jungle Cats Wiffleball. The team consisted of the 4 original players, Nick Benerakis, Brett Kelly, Pat Ramsey, and Eric Koloski. 4 kids fresh out of a backyard league in small town Easthampton MA, trying to take their game pro. The Jungle cats made their debut at a slow pitch tournament in New Hampshire called Wifflestock. That would prove to be a familiar setting for the team. The Jungle cats went 1-4 in their first performance, leaving many things to be desired. That would also be the last tournament for the Jungle Cats.
The next year in 2008, the brand new look of 7up Wiffleball hit the pro circuit. Same kids, different attitude. The 7ups made 1 tournament appearance in 2008. The team returned to their roots in New Hampshire for another Wifflestock. This time the team showed up with a swagger and went 3-3. Lost in the first playoff game 6-5 to the uprising Dirt Dogs. The next year the 7ups wanted to expand to new horizons.
In 2009 the team discovered the Brian Kane memorial tournament in Groton, Massachusetts. A large home state Tourny. Many big names came out to play at this one and the 7ups got stuck in an elite bracket of teams, which included the previous year champions. The 7ups showed the heart to hang with the big boys, but went 1-2 and was sent home early. The tournament really pointed out the major weakness of the team, which was hitting.
The 7ups took 2010 off to recuperate and reformulate. Now we present to you the fresh look of E Force Wiffleball which plans on sticking around for a while and making a name in the pro circuit. With the new addition of Kyle Pfau from Westfield Mass, the teams future looks bright. Thanks to all our fans that support their local team. We do it for you.
