Summer Kickball at Ballard Boys and Girls Club Sundays

Emilie really started the rally for her team. It was tied up, and Emilie made the difference and brought it home. She set the pace, continuously making base every time she was up to kick. Nice work

Karlie is a strong asset to her team. Every time up to kick, she advanced to a base and made it count. With a few close calls, she made sliding sacrifices to bases to stay safe.

Neary Segni was ubiquitous during her team's game Sunday afternoon in Ballard... and that's a good thing. She was simultaneously her team's biggest cheerleader and trash talker, keeping both teams and your friendly neighborhood umpire in stitches the entire game with her comments. Neary was able to walk the walk as well as talk the talk, though, going three for four on the day, after dancing at the plate and daring the opposing team's pitcher to give her his best stuff every time up. What to do for an encore? Seve Rice Krispie trreats for her whole team of course. Way to go, Neary.

The Bruisers were on their game Sunday, determined to win their first championship. Of note, though, was their shortstop, Hallie, who showed some great fielding in clutch situations, including a rocket throw from third to 1st on a grounder to just get a runner out. Save it for the bigs, Hallie, this is Rookie League!
