Summer Softcore Kickball Downtown Mon/Wed

This weeks player of the week goes to LB for her greatness at whatever position she played. LB was the defensive stud on her squad racking up most of the outs her defense recorded. She played and all*star firstbase, then made some outs at relief pitcher, then caught some balls in the outfield, it did not matter where she was, she was making outs. LB helped her team start the season with a win, and set the bar on how defense should be played. Great game LB!

Billy might take sayings too seriously. "Leave it all on the field". And Billy literally left some of himself on the field. He made a sliding catch that tore up his shin but the ball got caught. Billy made a bunch of catches in the outfield. He also did it at the plate. He was responsible for 3 of his teams runs scoring 2 himself and knocking in a RBI. Great job "G".

Gary Parrish did not play in the first game, so he felt he had to make up for it. Gary was contributing the whole game with some great defense and superb kicking. However, Gary's moment to shine came in the seventh inning when his team was trying to break the tie in a hotly contested battle with Kickin' It Old School. After jumping out to an early lead Rikickulus saw there lead diminsh in the seventh inning as their opponents tied the game. Luckily for Rikickulus they still had the bottom of the seventh to win and even luckier they had Gary Parrish coming to plate to drive in the winning run. Gary keep up the clutch kicking performances.

Despite the loss, Billy earned Player of the Week with what was the play of the season so far. With a runner on third and only 1 out, the kicker lofted a deep fly ball. After making the routine catch, the runner decided to tag up and try to score. Billy was having none of it. From left center Billy fired an amazing throw to hit the runner a few steps away from home plate and end the inning. What a spectacular play, Billy!

Samantha Lee was a fearsome presence on the mound Wednesday night. The entire middle of the field became a house of horrors for the opposition as Samantha back peddled, sprinted, and displayed supernatural instincts, while scooping up every bunt and kick that came her way. Her dominant defense set the tone, and resulted in a win for her team.

After leading her team through a first round win with her excellent consistency for getting on base, she also came up big with a very nice defensive play. Playing first base, she caught a screaming line drive, and made it look easy! Good work, Trisha!

Until the seventh inning, Toot It and Boot It had a comfortable lead and looked like they'd walk away with the championship. During the top of the seventh, PN on the Mound began to make a come back. In a dramatic ending, and the opposing team only one run behind, Matt Reyes saw a runner come off base, and made the tag just in time to get the out to end the game. Congratulations, Matt!
