Summer Softcore Kickball in West Seattle Mon/Wed

Winning isn't everything, especially when it comes to the best performance on the night. Jessica P. was hands down the POTW for her kickball production. On offense Jessica got on base every time (she played a double header) and caught every kick in her direction. I heard kickers talking to themselves saying "don't kick it to her" as they knew it was a auto out if they did. Jessica and her numerous great catches, 1000% kicking average, and speedy base running earns her POTW. Oh yeah, she also the coach! Great games Jessica!

Manning the hot corner for Whiskey Business, Emily was put to the test today. Screaming liners, hot shots and wicked grounders were constantly kicked her way. Emily was up for the challenge though. She wasn't afraid to get dirty, laying out to make stop after stop. While her team may not of pulled out the win, Emily impressed both her teammates and opponents with her all out heart and hustle at Third base. Impressive play Emily!

In a game that was hard fought from the outset, Matt P rose to the occasion by playing great defense chasing fly ball after fly ball and providing enough run support by belting two triples and bringing in 4 runs on the evening. What was rather impressive was how humble Matt was as he didn't want too much credit as he thought his contributions to his team's efforts were no big deal. To him, just another day at the office.

OUTstanding! That is the best way to describe Mike's play tonight. His fielding was a thing of beauty. Snagging fly balls one handed, gunning down would be bunters and showing off his quick reflexes, Mike put on a one man show on defense. He also turned in what could be the play of the year. A hot shot came right back at him and without hesitating threw his hands up grabbed the liner that seemed destined to land in centerfield. Even the kicker had to give him props for such an amazing play. Great game Mike!

Michael H. earns this weeks POTW for launching his 7th seeded squad into the championship game with one big kick. Down 3 runs with the bases loaded Michael was clutch kicking a bomb that cleared the bases, and gave him a triple. Michael tied the game up and was the eventual go ahead run in a terrific 7th inning rally, and eventual 2nd place after a great playoff run. Great game Michael.
