Big Blue Thumbs

Eric Paul

Big Blue Thumbs

The Big Blue Thumbs have made it to the championship game of the Ballard Mon/Wednesday kickball league. I fear they would not have made it if it weren't for the efforts of Eric Paul. Eric is a consistent kicker, always getting on base, and often driving in runs. In the field, he tracks down a fly ball with ease, and he's a threat to put out a runner heading to 2nd. The thumbs face the Violent Chubbies in the 'ship tomorrow, and Erics performance just might be the deciding factor..

Brendan Bersey

Bersey saves the day

It was a hard fought battle on the field last night in Ballard. The Big Blue Thumbs found themselves in a sticky situation, down 4 runs, 2 outs in the bottom of the 7th inning. The bases were loaded, and that's when Brendan Bersey stepped up to the plate. He jumped all over the first pitch, and sent it soaring into deep right field. run after run came across the plate, until it was Bersey himself scoring the tenth run for his team, sending the game into extra innings. The thumbs managed to score another couple of runs in the bottom of the 8th to take the victory.

Ladies of Big Blue Thumbs persevere!

It was tough night out on the kickball diamond, especially for the females of the Big Blue Thumbs. The first kicker sprained an ankle early. The next girl up slid into home and scraped her knee up real bad. It didn't look good for the Thumbs early, but the ladies demonstrated extraordinary heart and determination, and gave the Thumbs the feminine boost they needed to come out victorious!

Brendan Bersey

Bersey's late game arrival is just what the Thumbs needed

The Big Blue Thumbs battled the Red Balls and Vodka hard last night. It was a one run game, and then Brendan Bersey showed up. His skilled kicking leg generated a run or 2, and that was all the thumbs needed. With a 3 run lead in the 7th, Bersey stepped up and made a great catch in the outfield, and dislocated one of his fingers in doing so! He quickly ran to one of his teammates, who helped him pop it back in, and the Thumbs went on to victory!
