Spring Softcore Kickball at Denny Park M/W

On a day where there were two grand slams kicked, the nod for player of week goes to Justin. Not only did he kick a grand slam, he was 4 for 4 from the dish with 8 RBI's. This was a day for the ages and I am looking to add Justin to my fantasy team with stats like that!!! In memory of our famed announcer Dave Neihaus, we called Grandma to bring out the mustard and rye bread... You know what time it is!

Annie was thrown into the mix quickly playing her first game with her squad. Annie got the nod to pitch and she pitched a gem rocking the strike zone and racked up a few strike-outs for her first go around. With Annie's excellent pitching only allowing 7 runs her squad won 14 to 7. Great game Annie!

Justin Van earns the honors for Player of the Week with big kicks and excellent fielding. In a game that went extra innings Justin solidified his honors with numerous catches that stifled a second rally in the game. Justin's opponent was able to send the game into extra innings by finally finding a deep ball to the gap. In the 8th though Justin had the outfield on lockdown and put the game away by securing great catches with a wet ball. Great game Justin.

Kai O. was the star amongst stars as his team beat big team on the block Amhole. Kai came up big with tons of solid defense putting them in place to possibly win their first game of the season. They were down 2 runs when Kai came up to the plate with 2 outs and the bases full, with one big kick to deep left Kai emptied the bases. Looking to Score took the lead into the 7th and the defense responded and kept the lead for the win. Great job Kai and the rest of the squad who played outstanding!

Emily D. is the Player of the Week for her outstanding performance that opponents have no answers for. Emily bunts better then most, and has blazing speed on the base paths. If the outfield cheats in just a bit she has no problem dropping bombs over their heads while knocking in key runs. Emily did just that in a 14 to 10 victory, and with her performance along with her sister will be tough to beat in upcoming games! Great job Emily!

"Big Catch" lived up to his nickname once again as he was an unstoppable force in right field. In the semi-final game, Kevin used every inch of his long reach to secure at least 6 catches for outs. He was also involved in a key double play early in the game when Balls Deep had the bases loaded and looked primed to get some runs on the board [but they didn't]. On offense, Kevin's monster kicks sent the outfielders back, back, back to fence, ending up with 5 RBI's and 2 runs scored in the big win for Richard Kixon.
