Summer Co-ed Kickball at Ballard Boys & Girls Club M/W

In a defensive of battle where runs came at a premium, Eric Howard was able to turn a routine single into a homerun. Eric showed off his agility by jumping in the air to split his legs to avoid the ball, then he turned on the jets making it home before the team was able to retrieve the ball. Eric turned in stellar defense the next inning to help secure the win.

This weeks player of the week goes to Jake Hall for coming back after injury and making a difference. He made a difference early in the game making it easy for teams to get him out as he tried to get back to his old self. As time went on, it came down to Jake to make a difference for his own team like he did back when he was healthy, or healthier, and he did in the 7th knocking in the winning run in a 7 to 6 game. Great to see ya back Jake!

Garrett "Sweet Feet" Vincent was the talk of the game for his feet. Sweet Feet was able to get his team off to great start by blasting a ball in to the outfield that was misplayed by the outfielder who has gone into witness protection. The misplay allowed the two runners to score easily. Sweet Feet took an aggressive approach on the play by trying to score from third on the throw that was cut off by the pitcher who had him dead to rights, but Sweet Feet used his great agility to jump and split his legs to avoid the ball and score a home run. Garrett's feet weren't always sweet as one of them got caught in the fence trying to play a foul ball. Luckily he was able to get it out as he would need his feet to score another run to help ignite the comeback win for the Ballers. Garrett "Sweet Feet" Vincent had one of those games people will be talking about for years.

This weeks player of the week goes to Joy Chatterrjee fro her all performance in the field and especially on the base paths! Joy shows speed on the bases week after week, with a league leading kicking average. This week she added a little spice into her base running by sliding perfectly under a play at third, which looked like a sure out. So the honors go to Joy and her 110% on the field! Great job Joy!

Sara Bos had no idea that she would contribute to one of the most unbelievable catches of all time. As Catch That Crap was gaining ground on 5th Grade Legends three run lead, Sara reached out for a line-drive kick and deflected it to her diving teammate. You had to see it to believe it. It was amazing!

Steve confounded the opposition all night long with his uncanny defensive abilities, making out after out and propelling his team to yet another win by a score of 9-5. Steve was not only superb in the field though, kicking several base hits and scoring runs for his team. What a game Steve, nice job!

Sheamus was a big force in their win with great kicks and very solid defense holding their opponent to 2 runs! Great job Blue balls!
