Spring Softcore Kickball at Queen Anne Mondays/Wednesdays

This Wednesday at Queen Anne Playfield, Brittney showed true grit when she played in a kickball game despite having a stress fracture in her foot. Brittney dutifully played the catcher position and got on base numerous times, demonstrating that she wasn't going to give in to the pain. For her fortitude, Brittney is our player of the week. Congratulations!

"Are you a lawyer or a pro kickball player?" This was joking asked of James, whose sure hands aided his team to victory in the first game of their double header this Wednesday night. While playing first base, James caught a number of fly balls, cleanly fielded grounders, and stretched nicely to force out runners. For his excellent defense, James is our player of the week. Congratulations l!

This Wednesday at Queen Anne, Nick covered more ground than I've ever seen in a kickball game. At shortstop, Nick put on a truly "jeter-esque" performance. He caught fly balls in the infield, outfield, and at nearly every base. Nick records outs on throws, catches, and tags. He put on a tremendous show that had his whole team in awe. There was no question as to who our POTW would be. For his heroic effort, Nick is our player of the week. Jeter would be proud!

In a defensive showdown, Graham had a great game at the mound. With his team down 2 runs in the 5th inning, Graham also put his team back into the lead after finishing off a series of hits to clear the bases and put 3 runs on the board. Graham pitched a shutout in the final two inning to seal the game.

Shawn was the key to victory for the Drop Kick Murrays in the semifinal game Monday night. He was an offensive dynamo with 3 triples and 7 runs kicked in with big twisting kicks that left defenders helpless. Playing at the hot corner, Shawn was diving to the line for a stop and making rocket throws to first for some close plays. He left it all on the field, including a little skin I'm sure.
