The Big Dirty

Defining Moment

This weeks player of the week goes to Tim Herrmann and his game ending kick. In the bottom of the 7th The Big Dirty trailed by a couple of runs and played way to hard to go home empty handed. With players in scoring position Tim placed a drive to right-field scoring both runs to win the game and advance in the playoffs. Great job to you Tim and the rest of your squad!

Setting the standard

This weeks player of the week goes to Victor and his great contributions to his team. While getting up to speed with the kickball world, Victor sets a great example for his team to follow and is a fearless captain. No matter the score or outcome nobody is going to score if they kick it in his direction. Victor came up with lots of catches and his performance exceeded everyone who showed up to play on this night. With the example Victor is laying out for his team if they follow suit they will be a power-house. Great job Victor!

Playing through pain

self sacrifice for the better of her team + others

Lindsey Barnes earned the respect of everyone at Rogers park on Wednseday by playing not just one game w/her own team, but one more game w/another team as a sub, while fighting off what the weak would call an injury;). Lindsey "power house" Barnes played 2 awesome games even though she basically had one leg. Playing 3rd base in both of em, she caught nearly every ball sent her way. Where the true respect comes into play, Lindsey, even though injured, mind you, stuck around after her first game and played for Bad News Banyan to help them avoid a forfeit. YOU ARE AWESOME, Lindsey!

So Close!

Duel for POTW ends in Victor's favor

Terrific performances by Chase Richards and Victor Marcelo provided all 7 RBI's for their team, bringing them oh so close to their team's first victory!
Down 8-0, Chase Richards launched a ball to deep left field with the bases loaded in the 4th inning, cutting the lead in half with one kick.
With the score 9-5 in the top of the last inning, The Big Dirty's captain Victor Marcelo stepped to the plate and blasted a 3-run shot that pulled his team within one run only to have victory slip through their grasp as the next batter flew out. Great game Chase and Victor!
