Summer Co-ed Kickball at Ballard Boys & Girls Club M/W

As a kickball rookie playing her first game ever, Amy pulled off a spectacular diving catch. On the play, Amy tracked down a well kicked ball that looked to be going over head. As soon as she got her hands on it, she wasn't letting go. Even when her momentum took her to the ground. An unbelievable highlight reel, Sportcenter top 10 play. Amy had what could be the play of the year on day 1! Way to go Amy!!

Though her team lost on Wednesday, Betty is our player of the week for her outstanding effort on the kickball field. Betty's shining moment came during her at-bat late in the 6th inning. The outfield played up, expecting a bunt, and Betty subsequently ripped the ball past the entire defense for a home run. For this spectacular display of athletic aptitude, Betty is our player of the week.

Despite her team getting in a 10-0 hole early, Amy H still made everyone on the kickball field fear kicking it her direction. From catching a Willie Mays style basket catch to running down a tagging runner from the outfield, Amy was doing it all and earned this week's Player of The Week! Congrats Amy!

This weeks player of the week goes to a player who's team fell a little short in the run total but showed serious D1 skills. Jon W. caught absolutely every shot kicked in his direction, all running catches out near the warning track. Jon also kicked the hell out of the ball, and had a serious spray chart able to kick in any direction. With Jon's all around performance earns the honors as POTW. Great job all*star Jon.

Hampton earns this week's Player of the Week award for making an outstanding play at first base. A sharp line drive was kicked to second base, and with the baserunner booking it down the line, the secondbaseman had to make a wild throw to first. The throw was so offline that Hampton had to jump to the foul side of the baseline, jump fully in the air and volleyball spike the errant throw off the runner's leg to record the out at first. This prompted the entire team to utter shouts of joy as they rallied around Hampton to congratulate him, unfortunately that was only the second out recorded and in the celebration a run was still scored by the opposing team. The true Underdogs are the ones who have fun playing regardless of the score, and no better examples than Hampton and Ball So Hard, That Kick Cray. Congrats!
