Summer Softcore Kickball in Renton Thursdays

Adam's pitching and defense were huge for Icy Hot on Thursday. After his offense put up all nine of their runs in the 3rd inning, Adam stepped up and made sure that he prevented Nuff Said from getting back into the game. His lightning quick reflexes were also put on display a couple of times as he caught line drive come-backers.

With her team short handed for most of the game, Ashley had to man (WOMAN) the whole left side of the infield playing a hybrid Short Stop/3rd Base position. Rightfully so, the opponent tried many times to take advantage of the seemingly under-manned (WOMANNED) side of the field but Ashley consistently made play after play running to her left and right, robbing kickers of base hits and keeping her team within striking distance as they endured an early deficit. Not only was Ashley's defense on point, she was able to kick start the offense by going 4 - 4 and sparking a 3 run fourth inning to erase a 3 - 0 deficit. The best part about Ashley's performance was the amount of time she spent at the plate... Um, carefully selecting the perfect pitch for her to put into play.

Zin was the man on this night of kickball, Zin kicked bombs, caught everything kicked in his directions and was speedy on the bases. Zin played like a 6 tool kick baller and helped his team go 2 and 0 in their double header. To sum it up Zin was the "Man"! Great games Zin.

Ben was the ultimate competitor, team player and sportsman. With his team's first opponent limited on players, Ben being the great captain that he is, volunteered his services to what initially was the opposing team. Like a MLB player being traded on game-day, Ben had to trade in his jersey and clean out his locker and immediately make his way to the opposing dugout. While performing at a high level for his new team, Ben's trade was ultimately vetoed after about the 3rd inning as more reinforcement came so now Ben was shipped back to his original team. Not deterred, Ben played with the same skill, passion and statistical greatness as though nothing ever changed. Not lost in all of this was the fact that Ben played a double header... Way to support your team, competitors and the league, Ben! Much appreciated!
