Spring Softcore Kickball at Lower Woodlands Thursdays

Monica had a great evening of kickball on both sides of the ball. Her defense at shortstop was impressive. She was making spectacular catches, nailing runners and even had a sweet unassisted double play to end the a rally by the Groovy Beats. Her kicking was equally impressive--going 4 for 4 with 2 RBI's and 2 runs scored. Just a complete effort.

Zack was fired-up on Thursday and made probably the best catch of the week--one that kept his team in the game at the time. He had to cover a tremendous amount of ground from left field into center, then had to dive/slide to wrap up the ball, rolling and tumbling and nearly throwing to first for a double play. He added some big kicks as well, but unfortunately his team came up short [although Zack's effort on both sides of the ball definitely did not!]

Maggie was the epitome of competitiveness and sportsmanship. While a couple of calls could have gone either way against her at critical moments, she expressed her disagreement with the calls but continued to play with her head about her, never getting rid of her million dollar smile. With her team uncharacteristically struggling to make plays in the field, she seemed to right the ship in both games played by making great catches and heads up plays at second base. but above all that, Maggie was a terror at the plate and on the base path's as she helped engineer two big run deficit comebacks to win the championship!
