Notes

First Place

Summer Rookie Kickball in Fremont Sundays

The thrill of victory. The agony of defeat. Sunday in Fremont had it all, on display through a haze of blazing heat.

Asskickers were on the agony end of the spectrum early on, as the Centrifuges dispatched them to the bar early by a rather large margin.

That set up a classic #1 vs. #2 showdown as Centrifuges prepared for the waiting Quincy Jones Love Machine.
The odds favored Quincy Jones marginally- they were well rested and the higher playoff seed, and for a while it looked like it might play out that way.
A see-saw battle ensued. Centrifuges put runs up early, but Quincy Jones answered right back and then some. Indeed, early on it seemed like the pattern was for each team to score one more run in their half of the inning than the last one did, one that- if it held true- would favor Quincy Jones kicking last as the home team.
At the top of the 7th, Quincy Jones led 4-3 and were three outs away from their first ever championship. But Centrifuges weren't ready to go home just yet. They loaded the bases and then through a series of bizarre plays that included shanks, dodges, jumps, and about three different infield singles without outs, Centrifuges had all of a sudden scored 4 runs and were in the driver's seat heading into the bottom of the 7th.
Quincy Jones had one last chance to make a hit record- could they pull it off? It looked possible as they put a few runners on and brought one home, but Centrifuges had done to much damage in their top half inning explosion, and Quincy Jones' final last comeback fell short with Centrifuges taking it 7-5.

Congratulations Centrifuges on your storybook win!

POTW: Shorty Yanagawa

Centrifuges

Shorty Yanagawa had a solid day out in helping her team to their first ever championship Sunday in Fremont. She was locked in with her pitcher for relay outs at first, caught a few fly balls, and reached base a few times. But Shorty's most memorable play was all for naught.As a baserunner on first, Shorty took off on a kick only to have it be caught in the infield surprisingly quickly, leaving her in no man's land between first and second without tagging up. The second baseman fired a laser at her as she tried to make it back to first, but she athletically dodged and watched it zing past her head. Unfortunately, Shorty took the overthrow as a cue to turn again and head back for her original destination at 2nd base, where she dodged another errant throw, and then made it all the way to third, sliding in just ahead of yet another throw. Through all the confusion, the fielding team forgot about her not tagging up, and only then finally threw the ball back to first for the out. Shorty's acrobatic display wasn't all for nothing, though- her teammates were fired up by her energy and determination (if not her base-running acumen), and it gave them the boost they needed for a late push to seal their victory and their Championship. Congrats, guys.

POTW: Danialle Calaustro

Centrifuges

Danialle played 3rd base like Mike Schmidt this week. She snagged kickballs out of the air like she was a gold glove 3rd basemen! She was so cool about it too but I could see she was excited to grab those hard kicked kickballs! She was equally impressive on offense. A speedy runner who motored down the first base line every time (well not every time- just kidding)! Great job out there today Danialle!
