Winter Softcore Kickball at Loyal Heights Saturdays

With bases loaded and less than two outs in the bottom of seventh with a 7-7 tie, Balls to the Wall was looking for a hero. His team had one request, "Kick the ball into the air". That was all. Not how far, not where, not to whom...but just in the air. Joe did exactly what they asked. He popped a little floater barely to second base, but it was enough to make a close tag-up play and Joe's team prevailed. He had sacrificed himself and his ego for the good of the team.
Great job Joe!

In a game with many peaks and valleys, Jackie Cotter kept a cool and level head when it mattered most to pull out the win for her team. Balls To The Wall jumped out to a big lead early and it looked like they would cruise to victory. But a huge late game run had the Ballard Drinking Team up heading into the final inning. Jackie's base-running sealed the deal for Balls to The Wall. With two outs, she advanced to third, while Ballard Drinking team couldn't stop the tying run. Too late at home, they tried to get Jackie out at third, but the ball sailed past on an overthrow and Jackie high-tailed it home for the game-winning run.

Management for the Ballard Drinking Team knew that if they were going to make a run to the playoffs, they needed to make a key acquisition to their roster before the trade deadline. Enter Cassie Brophy. In Ms Brophy's professional kickball debut, she helped spark the team to two huge upset wins and put the Ballard Drinking Team back into contention! It wasn't easy though: Her opponents quickly came to realize that she was the secret weapon to Ballard Drinking Team's offensive and defensive strategies and put a target on her back. Ms Brophy was tackled, pushed, beaten and bruised but to no avail... her diving catch late in the game sealed BDT's first winning streak of the season! Congratulations Cassie Brophy for earning PLAYER OF THE WEEK!
