Summer Softcore Kickball at Ballard Boys & Girls Club Tues/Thurs

Today, Megan came in clutch, flushing in a stream of runs for her team and effectively leading We Have the Runs to victory. She went 5 for 5, never getting caught out on the base path and always giving the team her runs. She looked like a pro in right field, catching kick balls left and right, up and down to limit the opposition to a solid 3 runs. Way to run, Megan!

Emily was chatty friendly and fun. She had a good attitude on the field, asked a lot of questions, and took instruction well. She is the embodiment of the spirit of Underdog kickball

Pitched a complete game shutout. His fastball was really working, never tried to do anything fancy, just low and straight all game and let his defense do the work.

There was a lot of great kickball played this week, but the player with the best performance was Johnathan Gill. He was all over the field making great catches and showing his great range! The defense was the best thing, but he also contributed on the offensive side rounding out this great performance.

As clutch as Pig Papi, Jose scored the lone run for Freshly Shaven in the bottom of the last inning. His ego and hubris was decidedly appropriate as he taunted his way down the baseline for the walk-off moral victory.

Megan gets our Player of the Week honor for her Willie Maysesque play in the outfield. She made multiple clutch catches with runners on base and her team holding onto a lead. No catch was bigger than her final one. We Got The Runs came into the bottom of the seventh with a 6 run lead hoping to hold on. After giving up 4 runs, with 2 runner on base and 2 outs, the kicker crushed a ball to right field that looked like it would at least tie the game. Megan had other plans! Tracking the ball perfectly, she made an amazing over the shoulder catch to end the game and send her team to the semi-finals!!
