Spring Softcore Kickball at Denny Park M/W

Nick showed off his big time kicking power with his first ever home run. Instead of aiming for the short fence in right field, Nick instead decided to go to left field for this one, kicking it over the head of the left fielder and rounding the bases for the run.

Last inning, tie game, 1 out, Melissa B is on 2nd and Big Pete comes to the plate. Pete kicks a mile long shot into the outfield, bringing Melissa who is road running the crap out of the bases, into home to WIN the game. It does NOT get more exciting than that! Awesome job MELISSA/PETE Combo!

Nono of the Biziballers had an amazing night kicking and on defense. She was the saving grace for her team @ 2nd, catching every fly ball in sight. She must have caught 2 per inning, preventing the Toe Jammers from catching a break. She also has seemed to darn near perfect the art of the bunt. W/her speed and strategic placement of these bunts, she was able to make it to first w/no problem going 5 for 5 at bat. Awsome job, NONO! And keep smiling!

On a wet day where most players were having a hard time catching the slippery kickball, Jenn made one of the top plays of the year so far. The Guzzlers popped a short fly ball out to right field that had all the makings of a bloop single, but Jenn was having none of it. She charged in and executed a perfect slide to position herself under the ball to make an amazing catch with ease. Given the wet conditions, the difficulty level was taken up a notch on that one. Fantastic play Jenn!

Being short handed the Biziballers knew they were going to have a tough road if they were going to pull out a victory. While they may not have come out on top, it was not for lack of trying on Alex's part. His booming kicks drove in 4 early runs and his hustle on defense kept the game close. Even during the late innings when his team faced a large deficit, Alex never quit. Fantastic effort and great game Alex!

Peggy ripped a shot down the 3rd base line for extra bases, turned a double play and had 3 assists in the outfield. But Peggy's most memorable play was after swinging away with line shot after shot decided to bunt when her team was up by more than 9 runs and informed that all ladies must kick away!

It's one thing to kick a cycle (meaning kicking a single, double, triple, and home run all in the same game). It is a whole different thing to do it with style, which is exactly what T. J. Tischendorf of Tequila Mockingbirds did on Monday. T. J. got the home run out of the way early with a huge blast on his first at-bat. After making the double and single look easy, all T. J. needed was a triple to complete the ever elusive "cycle." The defense was on edge as T. J. stepped up to the plate. They shifted towards left field to adjust to his powerful right foot. So T. J. decided to show off his versatility by kicking a left-footed shot that bent right around first base barely landing fair. Once it got past the first baseman, the triple was effortless and the cycle was complete. Pretty impressive stuff from T. J., which is why he is our Player of the Week! Congrats T. J.!
