Spring Co-ed Softball at Magnolia Sundays

Kristi was Clutch on Sunday night! Going into the final inning, Upper Deckers were down by 3. A rally put them at a tie and then Kristi Duffey broke it open w/the game winning RBI. Great opening day performance, Kristi!!

There are players/people out there that when thrown into difficult situations, will buckle under the pressure. Hilary of Saved by the Balls is NOT one of them. Due to their captain/pitcher not able to make it, Hilary had to step it up and handle not only line ups and positioning, but also Pitching, which is something that she'd never done before. She handled it like a PRO! A little rusty at first on the mound, but it took her no time to find her groove and pitch one hell of a game. Hilary...you are this week's stud(ette) of the week!!

Alex hit 9 for 9 w/ a few doubles and was one hell of a catcher and left fielder. He was also named player of the week b/c of his fashionable construction worker knee pads and dynamite Michigan shorts, which told everyone on the field that it was "business time". To go w/his fashion, he also shows great team spirit for both teams and is able to land a joke (at least one an inning) that cracks both sides up. Alex is one hell of a softball player and great addition to the Underdog sporting world!

The players swinging the bats usually end up getting Player of the Week, but this week the love is going to the player who flashed some serious leather. In a see-saw game betweenz "Keep Calm and Amazon" & "Sonics" it truly came down to the last out in the bottom of the last inning. This game saw 3 lead changes with Sonics holding the lead by 1 heading into the last inning. Keep Calm and Amazon came roaring back with 7 runs to take the lead and withstand a final barrage of 5 runs by Sonics to preserve the victory. With both sides swinging the bats well, the difference maker was Keep Calm and Amazon's own James Grandin who was death to flying things in the outfield. While James was making crazy web gem worthy catches by sacrificing grass stains and muddy clothes to come up with some fantastic catches, onlookers ooh'd and aah'd while opposing batters just grimaced as they trudged dejectedly back to their dugout. Congrats to Keep Calm and Amazon for their dramatic 16-15 victory and to James Gradin, our Player of the Week!!!
