DS-RISKY

Second Place

Spring Softcore Kickball at Denny Park Tuesdays/Thursdays

Nail in the Coffin

In a game that was a defensive struggle at first DS-Risky was able to grind out the win. The offense started off a little slow, but then came to life in the middle of the game. In the later innings it was Ryan Claypool who kicked a big homerun to add an extra insurance run on to DS-Risky's two run lead that they already had. This combined with his great defensive play has earned Ryan Player of the Week.

Jim Blue

DS-RISKY

Jim brought his big boy boots to the field and kicked the heck out of the ball all night long. He started with a 2 run double in the 2nd to put DS-Risky up 3 runs in the opening game of the playoffs. Jim followed that with an RKI triple and run scored in the 4th then a single and run scored in the 6th - coming just a HR away from kicking for the cycle. He also played great D in center field with multiple catches and a big DP to end a potential 3rd inning rally by Kicking Assets. It was a complete performance in leading his team to a big playoff victory!

Tyler Zaiontz

DS-RISKY

Tyler overcame some wet and messy field conditions to lead DS-RISKY to the win this week. In addition to making many put outs and double plays at first base, he also contributed mightily on the offensive side. He knocked in what would be the game-winning run on a three run inside the park home run. In the top of the 7th with his team up by one, Tyler started the inning with a triple that almost turned into a home run. He came across the plate for an insurance run on the next play and started an inning that saw DS-RISKY put the game out of reach!

Comeback Kids

Congrats to DS-Risky for a great first week and learning from some early stumbles in game 1 of their double header! They put up 2 runs in the 1st inning of their second game and never looked back, tacking on runs in the 3rd and 4th innings. They turned 2 clutch double plays to end the 5th inning and get the first 2 out of the final inning.
