Summer Co-ed Kickball at Ballard Boys & Girls Club Sundays

Ed had a monster offensive performance on Sunday going 4 for 5 with at least 5 RKI. It started with a Big, twisting kick in the 1st for a 2 run single. He followed that with a run scoring double in the 3rd and added a another 2 run single in the 5th. Ed was pretty much a beast on D as well, tracking down multiple catches in the outfield and being part of a huge double play that ended a big scoring opportunity for the opponent. All in all a solid effort and well deserved POTW.

It was record setting heat but Miles still brought it all in a game that went the 'full 90'. His defense in center field was spectacular--running left, running right, diving for catches and assisting on a huge inning ending double play with runners in scoring position. On offense, well he got that--going 4/5 with 6 runs kicked in and 3 runs scored, including a huge 3-run HR in the 2nd to give Balzinga an early edge. But in the bottom of the seventh, in a tie game, Miles came through with a rocket line drive kick to CF that was tracked down by some great D, but still brought home the winning run as a sac fly. Well played!

Lauren brought her 'A' game for playoff kickball--2 games total in 90+ degree heat and she did not wilt at all. Lauren reached base in every at bat for both games and did not miss a play on D with a stellar performance at first base. In game 2, she made multiple amazing catches and was part of a key double play with bases loaded to end a potential rally. Offensively, she had a run scored in the 1st to start it off but the big kick came in the 7th--a run scoring single to give SOI til we die the lead and eventually the big upset victory.
