Summer Rookie Kickball Downtown Mon/Wed

Andy was pumped up and ready to play right from the start. Early in the game, he kicked a solid single and ended up scoring. He followed that with a 3 run triple in the 4th and and another in the 6th to seal the win in a close 2-run victory on opening day.

Brandon had three big, twisting kicks that somehow stayed fair down the right field line. He kicked a single, double and triple for 5 RKIs and scored 2 runs. On D he was involved in a huge double play with the bases loaded to keep the Ballbarians to only 2 runs in the 4th and also made a nice catch on a hot line drive to end the 6th. An all around great game and well deserved player of the week.

Basically, the entire roster for Stanny Young Alumni get the award for Player of the Week, but, alas, there can only be one. So, I nominate Justin Roisom for Player of the Week. Great sportsmanship and fun attitude! How awesome was it to have the whole roster for Stanny Young Alumni show up game -ready and chomping at the bit? So great. Even more than that, this team played a spirited short scrimmage with the six players for AECOM to use up the allotted time. Cheers and kudos to Stanny Young Alums! Justin is nominated for Player of the Week.

C-Dub was all offense this week including a standout performance by Cameron Wu before his season may have been sidelined. "Cam" and his crew started early and kept up the pace by scoring runs over and over. It was the fateful 4th inning that rendered Cam's injury. He sat, icing his heel, the remainder of the game. Before this inning, he racked up 5 RBI and 2 runs and was a leading force on the field for his team. Shout out to Cam and a quick recovery. You are the player of the week. Come back and play ASAP.

This week featured a matchup between the C-Dub squad and Grass Stains and Hangover Pains crew. What a close game it was, with C-Dub pulling out a score of 9-6 and a victory. Instrumental in this win was star pitcher Tessa Fox who pounded the kickball for hits as a batter and made spectacular diving plays from the pitcher's mound playing defense. A leader on the field and a solid pitcher earns the right to be called Player of the Week. Good close win!

Two forfeits this week and C-Dub was the coolest for dealing with some no-shows and stragglers. End of the year games this year have seemed to lose some players in the process. C-Dub showed up and even played a scrimmage getting ready for the playoffs!! Good luck and thanks for a great regular season to all teams!

Shaun had a phenomenal performance on both sides of the ball in both games on Monday evening. Offensively, his stats are so big that they're just hard to tabulate. In game 1, he kicked a huge HR, a triple and a double for at least 8 RKIs. He followed that in the championship game with 3--yes 3 triples for 7 RKIs and 3 runs scored. Defensively at 3rd he was just a nightmare for Ball Me Maybe, with catch after catch on some hot shots with a dive left and a dive right. It was a total, dominating performance for Shaun and a well earned POTW.
