Summer Softcore Kickball at Denny Park T/Th

Jill took control of her team with spirited encouragement backed by confident play.
She was pinpoint kicking, moving runners, legging out infield hits, and played stiff defense to boot.

It takes a real rad person to be POTW. That's why it goes to Nichelle Villanti. She made a diving catch that her teammate couldn't catch so he kicked it towards her. It tipped off of another teammate's hands and she dove and made the catch. Nichelle also had an OB% of 1.000. It seemed like she just couldn't get out. Way to be rad Nichelle!

Time and again, Bryan French was asked to step up when the game was on the line. And time and again, he would answer the challenge with incredible throws all over the field. Whether it was routine groundouts, line drive catches, or unbelievable pegouts just before the plate, Bryan was all over it. His great play set the stage for his team to come back from a 6-0 deficit and steal the win 20-10. Great game Bryan!

The players of "Swift Kick in the Grass" and "Meta-Ball-Omics" all hail from the same company so there was a lot on the line in there game this past Tuesday, namely bragging rights at work. Both teams came to play in a big way and the score was super tight at 3-2 for most of the game. Somebody needed to step up and that somebody ended up being a big surprise. Alton Etheridge has battled injuries and inexperience all season, but he rose to the occasion in the final two innings accounting for several huge defensive plays, including the final out to put the game away. In this heated rivalry game Alton was the game-changer and he is our Player of the Week. Great Job Alton!

The week's POTW goes to the captain of the "Saints" team: Jenn Fahey. Despite this being their first time playing with Underdog, Jenn has led her team to an undefeated regular season. In their win on Tuesday Jenn was dominant from her 2nd base position making some impressive outs at crucial moments. For her leadership of the number one team in the league and her consistently solid play all year Jenn is our Player of the Week. Congrats Jenn!

An astonishing turn of events in the late innings of a Tuesday night game forged Eddie Karr's name into the Underdog Kickball Hall of Fame forever. Down 10-3 in the final inning, Eddie was just biding his time, awaiting the chance to prove the character of his team in a clutch situation. With 2 outs and the bases juiced, "Sir" Eddie Karr (who reportedly has the certification to prove his knightly status) slammed a double to deep right center field to give his team the walk off win!!
Great game Eddie!

Justin was all over the outfield in both the semifinal and championship games. He made a couple of diving catches in the semifinal that helped end the rally of Maddababy. His defense was just as good in the championship game as he helped end mutiple comebacks and caught the final out to seal the championship win for the Saints.
