Summer Softcore Kickball at Denny Park Tues/Thurs

In his first kickball game ever, Merlin showed he was a natural kickballer. Kicking like a pro, he got on base multiple times, driving in a couple of runs. On defense, he locked down whatever position he manned. All-in-all it was an impressive first game for Merlin, earning him Player of the Week!

Scored many runs and good in the field

Move Pitch, Get Out the Way was on a tear throughout the whole game scoring runs. Their batting average with runners in scoring was much better than the Mariners, which we are all hoping will improve. Along with the offense they played great defense and the best play of the week came from K Stacks in the middle of the game. A line drive was kicked towards third base and K Stacks caught the ball for the first out, then she tagged second base because the runner left early, and then tagged the runner coming from first for the final out of the inning and to complete the triple play! This created great momentum on the defensive side of the game with a play that rarely happens and summed up the great game Move Pitch, Get Out The Way played and is also the reason K Stacks is the player of the week!

Ryan Benoit walked up to his first plate appearance with a confident look in his eye and a swagger in his step. With his mighty tree trunks of legs he swung at the first pitch sent his way and sent a careening, mountain of a shot into the hitters friendly right field of Denny Park. The ball just kept carrying until clearing the street past the outfield fence. Move Pitch, Get Out The Way did not look back earning a convincing 19-2 win behind the foot of Mr. Benoit.

Brooke is a line drive machine!!! The pitcher asked her in her first at bat if she was going to bunt... She politely ignored the question and then answered emphatically with a hard kicked line drive down the 3rd base line that resulted in a 2rbi double. That kicked seemed to ignite her team as they broke the game open after that treacherous boot! She also had 2 other line drive base hits.

Rob Bibelhauser led Pitch. Kick. Drink. Repeat. to an emphatic first round win on Tuesday. In the field he was an animal, making play after play to help his team secure the win. The most heroic play of the day though came with a runner heading home in the 4th inning. Rob got the ball and took a quick hop before firing an absolute laser from shortstop, hitting the runner just before they could tag the plate, ending the inning and any threat of loss.

The Playoffs are here! This week showcased pitcher/catcher defensive plays to first and HRs over the right field fence. Also, incredible plays included a game winning hit by David Gonzales and a spectacular catch by Pitch.Kick.Drink.Repeat's right fielder as he fell backwards against the outfield hill and park boundary (fence line). All the action was great and enjoyable to witness. Ultimately, the GW hit by D.Gonzales looms large as the biggest play of the two playoff games this week. This week's Player of the Week (POTW) is decided by the impact he made on the outcome of Pitches Be Crazy's game and the fact he helped his team continue on to the championship game versus Move Pitch, Get Out the Way! Gonzales came through. He kicked the winning run in for a 5-4 last inning win and is poised to be an offensive threat in the championship game. Great playoffs and good luck in the Championship!!
