Base Gods

Second Place

Spring Softcore Kickball on Eastlake Mondays/Tuesdays

Marshelle Slayton

Base Gods

Marshelle had a really good game even with a wet game. She had 3 nice hits and scored a couple runs. Marshelle also had two good catches in the outfield and a really nice slide into third. On her slide, she ended up hitting her leg on the front of the base and after a little tending to of her leg she was able to preserve and keep playing through the injury. Marshelle had a great day and definitely embodied the Underdog spirit.

Michael Castro

Base Gods

Michael C earns this week's Player of the Week award for combining his offensive and defensive skills, leading his team to a close victory. At the dish, Castro went 3 for 3 and scored twice. On defense, he recorded 6 putouts at short stop, one that led to a crucial double play. Great play all around!

Larry Vo

Base Gods

Ahh, a true cycle. It doesn't happen in baseball too often, and we don't quite have the records to determine how rare it is in Underdog Kickball. I've umped a game or two, and this was the second cycle I've seen. Larry V had a dynamic game, going 5-5, including the coveted Single, Double, Triple, and Home Run. Larry also kicked in 3 runs and was a great spark for his team. Well done!

Devin Luco

Base Gods

Rarely does a few defensive plays make someone earn a Player of the Week nomination, but Devil L made a couple of plays on Monday night that were anything but ordinary. The first was a lazy popup that he made an incredible Willy Mayes style catch on, and the second was a screaming liner that he reeled in with one hand. I know kickball players can't control where they kick it, but I know for sure that players will try to avoid Devin at short stop.

Anthony Williams

Base Gods

2 Outs, bottom of the last inning, tying run on base. This is the moment most athletes (and Underdogs) dream of. The opportunity to win the game for your team! Anthony stepped to the plate in this exact situation on Monday night and drove a ball so deep to right field if there were any kids playing on the play structure (it was raining, so they weren't), we would have had to say "HEADS UP!". As soon as he launched it he knew it was gone, he just had to race around 2nd base fast enough before the ball went out of play. He did, and his team won the game. Great game!

Anthony Brown

Base Gods

Anthony Brown gets our first player of the week of the season for his cannon of a right leg. Anthony had two homeruns in our first game and almost had a third, but unfortunately one was called back for an early kick. His home runs turned out to be the difference makers in a defensive batlle. He also played stellar defense from his pitching position. Nice work Anthony.
