Summer Softcore Kickball at Denny Park Tuesdays/Thursdays

Amar came up big for Wasted Potential on Tuesday, delivering a big RBI base hit to put the game out of reach. After being sent away with a strikeout after 2 foul balls in his first at bat, Amar's followed his teammates wishes to "kick the ball fair." His 2 RBIs a big part of his teams 6-3 win.

Annalies Schuster was an all-around stud for Kickin' Be Hines on Tuesday evening. Playing in her first game of the season, Annalies contributed on both sides of the ball by making several great plays on defense and scoring three runs. Kickin' Be Hines has to feel good about their chances for a title with players like Annalies.

The player of the week honors will go to Urvit Goel on Wasted Potential. Wasted Potential had a monster game and absolutely blew through their competition like it was nothing. Everything on that they were doing was working it looked like a well oiled machine. To contribute to that in a big way, Urvit kicked two homeruns driving in at least 5 RBI's and made plays early and often in the field. Urvit hopes to have this performance once playoffs roll around.

Claire Coker of Intangiballs has earned player of the week honors. Claire had a brilliant game with great defensive, but left her mark on the offensive side of the ball with her speedy leadoff kicking. She was so fast some might compare her to Ichiro in his prime. If teams didn't know about her yet, they do now.

Chris and his team showed great sportsmanship today; while Kickin' Be Hines could have accepted a forfeit due to his opponent's inability to field a legal roster, he offered to let them borrow a couple of his team's players.

In addition, Chris pitched 6 shutout innings in a row! He had a couple of 1-2-3 innings mixed in there as well to lead his team defensively. He got his team off the board in the first inning with great baserunning to give his team the lead for the entire game until the bottom of the 7th when Struck by Whale tied it up.

While his team did not end up with the win, Chris embodied the great sportsmanship that is a pillar of Underdog. Chris and his entire team are winners to us!

Preston Brashers of Intangiballs has earned player of the week honors. Preston was kicking the ball all over the field and it seemed like everyone of his kicks was a double or more! Preston had two homeruns to add to the other great kicks he had. This offensive showcase was impressive and I'm sure Preston is looking forward to having a repeat performance in the near future.
