Second Place

Summer Midcore Kickball at Ballard Boys and Girls Club Sundays

POTW: Anne Cosens

Turn Your Head and Cough

When the first inning of the game between Miss Mackey and The Ballers and Turn Your Head and Cough ended with a score of 5-3, we knew we were in for one heck of a game. And indeed it was the Game of The Week. The momentum shifted often, with both teams holding tenuous leads at times. But it was Anne Cosens' tremdous defense on the pitchers mound that secured her team the win.Anne played solid the whole game, but became a legend on two great plays late in the game. First, she caught a scorching line drive hit right back at her in the sixth with the bases loaded to end the inning, keep the lead, and leave the kicker speechless. Then in the bottom of the seventh, Anne had a pivotal strikeout with the bases loaded, so that any force out would ened the game. Miss Mackey had clawed their way back to within one, and threatened to take it, but on the next kick it was all over, with the third base runner being tagged out just a few feet from home. Wotta game! Wotta performance! Hooray!
