Los Burros de Moe Bar

First Place

Summer Midcore Kickball at Ballard Boys & Girls Club M/W

The game staredt as expected, with both teams shaking hands and wishing each other good luck before the game. Great sportsmanship shown by both teams. After that everything didn't go as expected. With both teams solid from beginning to end, Cajones kicked first and jumped out to a 2-0 lead right off the back... Los Burros answered right away, with Mike as the leadoff kicker, he ripped a single to the shortstop. It was kick after kick after that. Once they were done it was a 5-2 lead after the first inning.. Then the defense was illustrated after Cajones scored another run in the top of the 2nd. With the score 5-3, it was out after out through the 3rd, 4th, and 5th inning. No one was giving in to the other. It wasnt till the top of the 6th inning when Cajones scored 3 runs and looked as though they were gonna pull the upset. With momentum on their side, they got the first 2 kickers out but Los Burros rallied behind Mike and tied the game at 7's. Los Burros went into the top of the 7th inning unscaved. In the bottom of the 7th Mike lead it off with a shot to 3rd. he eventually got to 3rd with 2 outs when Johnathan was up to kick. He kcked the ball right in between 1st and 2nd, allowing Mike to score from 3rd easily. Game, set, and match... It was a great game that showed intense comptetion from both teams. Great job to both teams. Im sure you will see each other in the near future.

Precise Kicking and Pitching

Mike had to have a great game and leadership against a tough Cajones team. he answered in every aspect of the game. Everytime Mike came up to kick the ball he made sure to kick it to the ground which aloud him to get on base everytime he came up to the plate. Going 4-4 with the GW run in the bottom of the 7th inning. He also played lights out defense and pitcher. Getting almost all the bunters out at will. Mike showed great leadership, telling his team the outs and what they should do in precise situations. Good job Mike on a great game.

Straight-up "D"

This weeks player of the week goes to Martha Linhoss and her stellar defense. It's not always what you do at the plate that earns the honors, in the defense that wins games when the score is tight. Martha had left-field on lock-down in a game that ended 6 to 3, allowing no extra bases or chances of scoring with her in the field. Great job Martha!

It haad to be the 'stache

A few people come to mind when I think of sweet mustaches. Burt Reynolds, Catfish Hunter, and Don Mattingly to name a few. But it wasn't about them, it was all about Jonathan Bystedt. Jonathan blasted a ball to deep right and didn't slow down till he got in the dugout. He was a one-man wrecking crew. Great job Jonathan!

Come back win for the Ages.

It looked like this game was gone be done before it even started with the Cajones jumping to a sizable lead in the first 2 innings. Not the case though, while in the 6th inning Los Burros de Moe Bar made an epic comeout. Travis had a huge part to do with that. Travis kept his team in the game with 2 triples and 5 RBI's. He also started the 6th inning comeback that had the whole team kick through the lineup. Great win Los Burros.

POP fly

Popped ball leads to tying, winning run

Everyone knows a pop fly is an easy catch to make, but this one was different. Josh Peterson kicked the ball to righfield and it sounded and looked kind of funny. The rightfielder caught it and the ball collapsed in his arms. Josh kicked it so hard that the ball popped. The runner came in to score the tying run and the next person came up and booted the winning run. Thats not all Josh did either. He also smashed a 2 run triple to take the lead early. Josh's kicks are explosive!
