Summer Co-ed Kickball at Ballard Playfield Sundays

The Shockers and El Short Bus played at a standstill for a few innings Sunday in Ballard. The Bus had jumped out early, but the Shockers tied it and then the real defense began. However, it was Darrin hanson's three run blast late in the game that blew it open and sealed the victory for the Shockers.

Playing like a mad-spirited woman of the red ball, Jessica disregarded the score and played "Ballz 2 The Wall" kickball on this night. With obvious giddyness, she tormented her opponents with deft kicking and complete disregard for her body.
She left both teams in awe with a late inning diving catch.

Rob was decked out in all pink this week! He was all over the field, diving into bases and covered in dirt. He played with sportsmanship and excitement. Nice work Rob.

At the beginning of the day, you could tell Joe Ferrara had his sights set on an Underdog Kickball Chmapionship. Joe led off the first game of the day by strectching an infield single into a triple through clever base-running. And it was that kind of day for him throughout. Joe was everywhere, giving direction where needed, but backing it up himself with sound play on both offense and defense. Joe had obviously spent time on strategy and serious practice of fundamentals, and while we usually bemoan those who take our little game a bit too seriously, Joe didn't fit that mold. Joe was just as quick with a smile and a joke as he was with a throw to first. This was exemplified in one of the most humorous moments of the day, when Joe blasted off the backstop to field a bunt and decided to outrun the kicker for the foprce at first. This move was in good fun and got a laugh from both teams. In the end, Joe stood as a chmap fort the first time in Underdog Kickball. His hard work had paid off. Congratulations to Joe and all of Cahones!
