Summer Softcore Kickball at Ballard Boys & Girls Club T/TH

Jon stepped on the field for his first Underdog Kickball game not knowing what to expect, little did he know he would be the star of the game. Not sure if Don't Come on My Base knew it was his first game, but they kept kicking the ball his way. Jon kept making play after play like he had been playing professional kickball. Then when it was Jon's time to kick, he showed off his leg by getting on base a couple of times to help Ball Related to their first win of the season. Way to go Jon on your first kickball game.

Haven't seen a rookie make an impact like this since Ichiro came to the Mariners. Amy Banos did a little bit of everything today. Playing catcher, she threw out a runner out after she bunted by tagging her on the foot with the ball. Then when her team needed runs, she came through with a nice kick to the shortstop that was too hot to handle and got an RBI. Amy had an all around awesome rookie debut.

From behind home plate all one could see was a massive gap out in center field. It almost looked like Team "The Bases May Not Be Loaded But We Are" was missing a player but in reality Dave Langlee was intentionally cheating over; daring anyone to kick it out there. Time after time the other team tried and time after time Dave used his exceptional speed and anticipation skills to track the down the catch. By the end of the game Dave had accounted for most of his teams outs and that's why he is our Player of the Week. Congrats!

With a lot of their team hurt or a no show, Beses May Not Be Loaded But We Are captain wasn't even sure they would be even have enough players for a game. They had 2 players play hurt but Kristen (I like to come home in the clothes that I wore last night) Phillps was all the defense they needed. Not only did she come through with some huge bunts (including one for a double) but she also had not 1 but 2 amazing catches in center field. After both catches she was so excited you would of thought she won the lottery. The whole team came together with great defense and timely kicks for a great victory. Great job Kristen. YOU ROCK!!!!!!!!!

There is a reason the Chuck Norris Townhouse Kicks are so like a well running engine. It's Ken Moe!! Ken does it all!! He went a single away from the cycle and I lost count of how many RBIs he had after 6, but his kicking doesn't say it all. He played right center and it seemed like everything that wad kicked in the air he was running down to make the catch. He made a Willie Mays like catch in center field that even got the other team shaking their heads. Amazing effort Ken.

Dave Langlee brings it to the park every week defensively. Today, he brought his all-around game. Early in the game when the score was still close, Dave made an incredible diving catch in the outfield that robbed Ball Related of a sure extra base kick. On Dave's next kick with Bases May Not Be Loaded But We Are holding a slim lead, he drove a ball in the gap in the outfield that he was able to leg out for a three run homerun. His defense and offense helped Bases May Not Be Loaded But We Are to another win and his second player of the week honors. Keep up the good play Dave!

It had to be a playoff game. Both teams came to play but weren't playing around. The game went back and forth the entire game. It eventually came down to the last inning. One Kick Wonders tied the score at 6 and Ball Related came to the plate. The bases were loaded for Tim Carlson and he came through with the walk-off single just past the shortstop. Tim also held it down on the mound. He used his winning smile to distract the kicker and make a nice double play to end an inning. He also was more aerodynamic, flying around the bases in his jorts. Great job Tim!

This game was a test of will and great defense. It looked like no one was going to score. It wasnt until the the top of the 6th when things started getting interesting. With Ball Related down 3-2, Grant started it off with a solid line drive to left center field followed by another line drive by Steve... Karina then moved the 2 guys up to 2nd and 3rd when Jaime broke through with solid kick to right center. Grant and Steve scored and Jaime ran in with a 2 RBI triple with only one out. Jaime eventually scored on a sacrafice fly that put Ball Related up by 3. They then held it down for the final 6 outs.. Grant and the rest of Ball Related played solid defense throughtout the game. Making unbeilevable catches and throws for the Championship Win.. Great game...
