Yesterday the Wahoos were determined to not let mother nature win!

In a slight drizzle throughout the game, the Wahoos hosted the fine ballists from the Lansing Capitals! We have been playing these fine gentleman since they became a new club to Michigan. Their skill, camraderie, and dedication to the game has grown leaps and bounds and is a lot of fun to watch!

In a finely played match, the Capitals had been able to surge to a 10-3 lead, but the Wahoos would not be deterred. We clawed all the way back to 10-9, with the tying run on second and winning on first. Alas, after a finely hurled pitch induced a pop fly to the Lansing first baseman.

While wet, sloppy, slippery, and messy this was truly a blast of a game!

Up next: the Wahoos face the Haven Hill Barn Stormers at Highland Recreation area Saturday September 26th at 10am!

As noted earlier today, The Wahoo Base Ball Club of Royal Oak visited the Great Black Swamp Frogs for the Genecross Lutheran home match. Truly a great day!

The day embodied vintage base ball. Rotating in kids, spectators, and first timers. With both teams initially needing assistance we reached out for reserves. Huge thanks to Gerard Milewski, Zach Tuggle, Anika Zufelt, Grant Sullivan and the amazing first timers on the frogs!

The Wahoo bats were lively, and the defense was stout. But baseball and fun won the day!!!!

Up next for the Wahoos:
9/13 at the Northville Eclipse 2pm!

Welp! Day 2 of the Ohio Cup is in the books! The bats did not go the Wahoo way today for sure, but we had fun.

The day started at 11 against the Columbus Buckeyes. They gave us a hitting tutorial and final tally of 17-1. Game 2 was against our friends the Monitor Base Ball Club of Chelsea, MI. There were a couple of moments where we needed to bring the temperature down. And the even-keeled Monitors did a great job of steadying the wagon to hang on for a final tally of 7-6. Game 3 was against the Tippecanoe Canal Jumpers. A defensive battle at its best. After a full 6 innings the Canal Jumpers had leaped ahead to a 3-2 victory.

While The Wahoo Base Ball Club of Royal Oak was scheduled for 6 games over the weekend you could see us in many facets assisting the Minnesota Union, the Franklin Base Ball Club, adding 3 ladies to the ladies game, partaking in the all-comers match, and even tally keeping and umpiring!

The Ohio Village Muffins and The Ohio Village Diamonds do a fantastic job hosting this festival every year and the hard work is always recognized, noticed, and appreciated in every way. Always a highlight of our season, we cannot wait to return! What a wonderful venue and atmosphere for the game!!!

Ohio Cup Day 1 in the books!!!

Wahoos began the day with a wonderfully fun match against the Deep River Grinders out of Hobart, Indiana! The Wahoos exhibited some timely hitting to finish the game with a 10-8 victory.

After a lengthy break, which has been our nemesis, we faced the Great Black Swamp Frogs. In a tightly defended match by both clubs, the Wahoos were lucky to come away with a 5-2 victory. The frogs have mentioned their desire to reverse this next Saturday!

We finished our day playing the Indianapolis Blues! Last year was a close match and this year proved no different. In a back and forth match, with more stellar defense the Blue came away with a 4-2 victory!

Today The Wahoo Base Ball Club of Royal Oak traveled to visit our good friends, the Union Base Ball Club of Dexter! At a new venue, the gorgeous field adjacent to Dexter High School.

In an effort to avenge our loss 2 weeks ago, the Wahoos lacked patience at the plate that translated to some early blunders on the field! We let Dexter take an early 7-0 lead. We tried clawing back all day!

Entering the Wahoo top of the 9th, the score was 14-10. The Wahoos tallied a quick 2 aces, and then had the tying run on first with only one out! The Union first baseman showed some agility and tracked down to foul balls to retire the Wahoos and secure victory for the Union Club!

There were however a few highlights!!! Moptop returned from his family trip to Florida to play for the first time in almost a month, in a new position (2nd base). Had 3 hits, and threw the ball so well he broke Brain's thumb at 1st! Mallet decided to take a divot the size of Royal Oak out of the right field grass, and Yankee relayed a throw to 1st that almost secured a double play!

We had a great time and cannot wait to see these guys on the field in 2027!

Next up for the Wahoos!!!

The Ohio Cup, hosted by The Ohio Village Muffins! A highlight to our season over Labor Day weekend!!
