Summer Softcore Kickball at U-Dist Playfield Mon/Wed

Some times the player of the game doesn't go to the biggest stats but the biggest heart, and, or, the player who looked like they had the most dust from the infield on them when the game was over. Kelsey won on both accounts on Monday flying around the field and leading her team to an 8-1 victory on opening day of U-District KB - Nice work Kelsey -

Two outs, bottom of the 7th, Adam Miller steps up to the plate. The score was 14-0 but he wasn't about to let his team get shut out. Adam kicked a bomb to Right Center and trucked his way around the bases for a home run that sparked a 2 run rally for the Philanthro-kicks.

When his team needed him most, Matt Gauthier came up big Wednesday night with the game-winning home run in the bottom of the 7th inning. Stranded on 2nd with 2 outs, a little dribbler to the left side sent Matt scurrying around third base. When the ball bounced away from the 1st baseman, Matt slid into home for the victory. Great game Matt and Kick in a Box!

Vivian had a stand out performance with 2 amazing plays at first base. In the first game of the Philanthrokicks double header she had an amazing reflex reaction catch that would make Kasey Keller jealous. And in the second game she one touch kicked the kickball directly into the runner to get an out. great plays vivian.

Laurel had an epic game on defense. She showed off her defensive prowess with her "look mom no hands" approach to catching. During Kick in a Box's doubleheader her kicks to the first baseman accounted for about half of the outs. Amazing.

Ryan won the player of the week this week with one of the best plays I've ever seen in kickball. With no outs, players on 1st and 2nd, he did the unthinkable...Fielded an unassisted triple play. He was playing Shortstop and caught a line drive a couple feet off the bag. He kept his head about him and immediately stepped on 2nd to get the 2nd out. Then he sighted the baserunner between first and 2nd still trying to get turned around. He set his sights on her and drilled her from 20 feet away with an amazing throw from his laser-cannon arm. Unassisted Triple Play. Amazing.
