Spring Softcore Kickball at Queen Anne Wednesdays

DJ earns this week's Player of the Week award for getting on base every time, including kicking a "kickball grand slam", that is, a single with 2 errors that plated everyone with the bases loaded. Good thing we were playing kickball, as him and team were having a lot of fun out there.

Ahh, what could have been. Story of many lives, huh? Well, for Taylor H, what could have been were not 1, but 2 triple plays. Both times on a popup, the catch was made, ball was thrown to Taylor, who stepped on 2nd base twice, but couldn't quite get it together to throw it to first either time before the runner could get back. Taylor also knocked in 4 runs on the offensive side, so it wasn't all bad. Congrats!

Mary Ann had one memorable day at the plate Wednesday. No one could keep her off the base paths as she kicked a perfect game going 5-for-5. When on base she hustled her heart out and ended up coming home three times. What an excellent performance by MaryAnn, our Player of the Week!!

Asher was all over the field defensively in both games of the playoff opening double header for Saved by the Ball. He played a little at catcher making some nice throws to first for some big outs but really showed his stuff running all over the outfield making numerous catches and keeping his team in the game as it was win or go home. He also had a key 2-run single and a run scored in what ended up being an extra inning win to keep the dream alive. He was solid defensively in game 2 as well but Saved by the Ball just couldn't get it done offensively although Asher had 2 big kicks and got aboard 3 times--it just wasn't enough against the tough D of Making Kickball Great Again. Thanks for playing hard and having fun all the way to the end.
