Notes

First Place

Spring Midcore Kickball at U-District Playfield Tues/Thurs

Thunder Thighs battled tooth and nail and tackled insurmountable odds en route to their first championship, not to mention it was 90 friggin degrees!

Their first obstacle came in the form of Where My Pitches At? A playoff tested team who had reached or won the championship in all 3 of their past leagues. The game was back and forth and was tied 5-5 going into the 6th. The Thighs were able to capitalize on a defensive miscue and tack on 5 runs. The lead proved to be too much for the Pitches and the Thighs won 10-7 to advance to the championship game.

The next challenge for the Thighs was the Champ shirt clad team of Indiana Jones and the Book of Kicks. Indiana Jones jumped out to a 1-0 lead in the 1st, but the Thighs were able to maintain their energy from their first win and quickly even the game at 1-1. Both teams battled fiercely on the defensive end and it was all tied up 3-3 going into the 6th. Ravi Mikkelsen pwned in the top of the inning and made three stellar catches in spite of being sprained, bruised and scraped in no less than 3 different places. This defensive masterpiece led the Thighs into the bottom of the inning with the heart of their order coming to the plate. They were able to get runners to second and third with only one out when Colin Davis stepped up to the plate. He blasted a fly ball to deep center and allowed the runner to easily score from 3rd; giving the Thighs a 4-3 lead and leaving them three outs from eternal kickball glory. The Thunder Thighs defensive dominance extended into the 7th and they were able to hold on to their slim lead in spite of their opponents getting runners in scoring position.

Congrats Thunder Thighs, you earned it! Wear your shirts proud and good luck repeating next season!

POTW: Ravi Mikkelsen

Thunder Thighs

Ravi originally showed up to be a sub because of his sprained knee and ankle, but ended up being an integral player in both games. He was a wall on defense and seemed to always get on base on offense. His consistent play was a big part of his team taking home the championship. Congrats Ravi and hopefully you're 100% for next season!

POTW: Colin Davis

Thunder Thighs

After a few rainouts, everyone comes ready to play! Yes folks, teams were chomping at the bit to get into action on one of our first really sunny days in weeks, and they did not disappoint. Two games were decided by one run with a third that was tied until very late in the game. With so many close ones, the POTW candidates were plentiful, but honors have to go to Colin Davis of Thunder Thighs. Colin had already made one successful slide into home earlier in what had been a seesaw game; each team taking turns looking like they were going to pull out a win. In the bottom of the seventh the bases were loaded with a tie game and Colin on third. His teammate flied out to just past first base for the first out, and Colin made up his mind to go for the win then and there, tagging up and racing home against a throw that caught him dead center a split second after he had slid in safely. When the dust had cleared Colin and Thunder Thighs had pulled out the win in dramatic fashion.

POTW: Tyler McClenahan

Thunder Thighs

It's rare that a McClenahan doesn't get some sort of accolade and this week was no exception. Tyler pitched a gem of a game and was solid at the plate all day, but his true glory happened late in the 6th when his team was down 8-10 with 2 runners on. Tyler stepped up to the plate and blasted a shot to left center. He flew around the bases and barely beat out a play at the plate for the go-ahead run. When asked about why he was able to have such a successful kick, Tyler said, "You just gotta find that one person in the crowd who's really cheering for you and latch onto that raw emotion." Congrats Tyler!

Tuesday, May 19

POTW: Ravi Mikkelsen

Thunder Thighs

Ravi Mikkelsen pulled his best Willis Reed impersonation Tuesday in the U-District. Hobbling along on one leg the whole game, Ravi was actually the defensive star of the game. His injury slowed him a bit, yes, but Ravi made the plays in spite of it with a few good catches, and some quick force-outs at third.
