Summer Co-ed Softball at Soundview/Lower Woodlands Sundays

Is there anything else to say other than, Walk off single?? Ali was truly an All Star on Sunay, from smart and speedy base running to some solid hits at the plate. Ali is certainly a softballer to her core! And Hopefully her team appreciates her hard work; afterall she did miss her weekly scooter gang's luncheon at the elk's club;)

"So this is Seattle in July?" That's the rhetorical question that got asked a lot on Sunday and was usually greeted with commiserating groans. At least it was dry enough to play some softball! In our first game of the day Throbbing Buhners took on The BoomStix and the lame start to July was quickly forgotten. What could possibly distract us from the damp gloomy conditions? Well it could be the Throbbing Buhners' fan, mascot or possibly someone who lost a bet but regardless it was someone dressed head to toe in a full on gorilla suit! Actually the real distraction was the bat and glove of Throbbing Buhners' own Chris Mitchell! On defense Chris' glove at 2nd base kept BoomStix runners from stretching singles into doubles as he set that precendent with a couple would be runners who decided to test him. More impressively, Chris went 5-for-5 from the plate while smacking 3 home runs including a grand slam! Each time Chris would smash another ball well out of reach of The BoomStix defense the gorilla would go bananas up in the stands! Throbbing Buhners went on to win 16-9 thanks to great teamwork, great fan(s) and especially thanks to Chris Mitchell our Player Of The Week!!!

Money pitching and All star hitting earned this future star, Softball stud of Sunday! Jeremy pitched 2 games perfectly.....perfectly in the sense that he was spot on w/the strike zone. He also had no problems w/working his bat into the game, coming up w/clutch hits. If he keeps this up, in no time, he will make partner and the name will become Richard & Jeremy & Friends. Great performance out there, Jeremy!!

1st Team win in Walk-off Style. Ken helped his team do the unthinkable. Bottom of the 7th 2 outs trailing by 1 ..ken sent the 2-2 pitch over the center field fence for a walk-off 2 run homer. This is what ever player dreams of. Ken had extra reason to celebrate as well, this was the Indy Team's first win on the season. Ken was mobbed by his teammates after touching home. Great job Ken!!
