Summer Softcore Kickball in Ravenna Tues/Thurs

After suffering through a mid game position change in a previous season that in my opinion cost her team the game as she was the driving force in her team's success defensively, she showed her true grit and metal while playing an altogether new position on opening night for her team. Never being a starting pitcher prior to this evening, Michelle threw a complete game gem and was also 3 for 3 at the plate with two runs scored, helping her cause. Michelle is proving that she is a do everything type player and Willie Bloomquist would be proud of her utility skills!!!

Tristan was a magnet for the kickball on Thursday night. Wherever he lined up on the field, Tristan was making plays. Line outs, popups, sharp grounders, he handled everything coming his way. Tristan turned a couple of unassisted double plays well! The rest of the Renegades could take night off as Tristan was taking care of the defense all on his own. Great job Tristan!

Karrah was a force all over the field including a great slide into second to inspire pitch please! to victory on a Sunny Thursday afternoon. She might have even been out on the slide, but the guts to do it easily explains the offensive explosion for 14 runs - Nice work Karrah.

Impressing your teamates may not be an easy feat but when you get props from your opponent you know you have done something special. Which is what Andrea did on Thursday. On multiple occasions, batters had thought they placed their kicks perfectly only to get gunned down at first by Andrea. Fielding grounders and firing a strong throw to first is a difficult task at any position. But Andrea made the plays look routine. If it wasn't for her strong defensive play, the game easily could had a different result. Great game Andrea!

Kelsey started the championship game with a great overhead catch of a smokin' line drive to second. She continued the defensive prowess with a great catch in shallow right [fighting her guys for the ball], and a catch and double play to end a potential rally. On offense, she beat a critical throw to 1st earning the go-ahead RBI and bringing home the trophy. Great game and always a great attitude.
