Summer Co-ed Kickball in Ballard Tues/Thurs

The play that summed up 'The Runs' kickball experience:
One out, runner on 1st & 3rd, a Clev Steamer kicker hits a hard grounder right down the line to firstbaseman Science (who had just yelled "Easy Out!" for the 4 billionth time, causing the opposing dugout to start a near riot). Our POG, Science McGhee pulls an unassisted double play as she drops to her knees and wrestles with the ball, emerges from the dust cloud still on one knee, pegs the uncommitted runner who has just left first, snags the rebounded ball (as if she planned it all) and pegs the kicker only steps from first base. Even the other team was stunned into applause and cheering, as our heroine had just talked immense trash and then totally backed it up!

With all due respect to Tron, Eric Calderon led the way for the Porkchop Express last night. It was Eric's great pitching, superb defense and timely hitting that helped lead a 9-5 comeback victory.

Scott was a force in the field and at the plate as the Ballard Ballers barely beat the daylight to get to the 7th inning and beat the daylight out of Dr. Sanchez as the light blue's prevailed 9-3. Nice work Scott.

With the only home run of the day, Ryan Shimabukuro led the way in the championship round for Supercalifornia Pants. In the fourth inning, Ryan stepped up to the plate and delivered a monster shot that got over the heads of the outfielders. With Ryan's tremendous speed being a factor, once the ball got over their heads, it was a forgone conclusion that he would touch em' all.
