Spring Softcore Kickball Downtown Tues/Thurs

Azar, who is 2 legit 2 Kick's team captain, was an all around ALL STAR this week. Pitching can be a little difficult on the grass, but that was no problem for Azar who pitched a great straight, slow, and low game. And it didn't stop there, he also managed to reach base on a couple basehits helping his team beat out the tough Zombies. And lastly, Azar was an outstanding positive motivator for his teammates. His upbeat and encouraging attitude, kept the game light and fun for everyone. Keep up the good work, Azar.

The player of the week goes to the Rubber Ballz n Liquor's very own Nic Jones. Nic managed to fight through the pain of a hurt knee to pitch a great game for his team. Even though Rubber Ballz n Liquor lost to the Angry Pirates, Nic had some sweet throw outs from the rubber. Nic is a great example of fighting off an injury to be there for his brothers and sisters of Rubber Ballz n Liquor. Great Job Nic!

Player of the day is awarded to Lorn Davies from team Rubber Ballz n Liquor. In the second inning, team N.A.D.S. was threatening with runners in scoring position. Mr. Davies made a phenomenal play catching a fly ball that ricocheted off his teammate Eli to kill the rally. A similar play late in the game was also a rally killer as the ball bounced off the chest of Desiree Moore straight to her boyfriend Nic Jonas, who was able to convert the double play. It was Lorn's overall presence in the outfield however and being perfect at the plate that gives him the nod for this week's player of the day. Congrats Mr. Davies and to team Rubber Ballz n Liquor for a great game played!

Mikao Brown of the GAR! River Pirates is this week's Queen of Kickball. No doubt, it was an interesting outing for both teams the N.A.D.S and Gar! the River Pirates. Despite making it through only 4 innings b/c of mother nature and her tears, both teams made the best of it. But one stands out amongst the rest and b/c of her outstanding double play, Mikao wears the crown this week. Great job Mikao and keep sharing those SMILES!

There must have been some angels in the outfield on this lovely day in Seattle. Katie was flying through the field, with grace and form, her excitement was only matched by her sheer wit and skill.
These balls were flying at her and without fear or anxiety she snatched them right up!! Not a lot of ladies (or gentlemen) can say that. Well done zombies on your perfectly placed team member.

"Kick Heard 'round Seattle" - The playoff game was still up for grabs late in the game when Six-Pack away was in the field with one out and runners on the bases. The pitched rolled in and was crushed into the sky heading to left field. Everyone assumed the catch would be made and the runner would score from third, but Aaron had different ideas. The catch was made and the runner on third tagged and started for home. What happened next could only be believed if it was seen because Aaron, knowing he couldn't throw the runner out, decided to rare back and kick it in from the outfield. The ball was struck as if by Fredy Montero and started tracking towards home plate. A hush went over the field as the ball started coming down from it's peak, amazingly toward the runner. And just before the runner reached the plate, the ball came down and an eruption went through the field as contact was made between the runner and ball for an unassisted double play! Incredible. Aaron Gooze, we tip our hat to you.
