Social License to Intoxicate (Carolina Blue) vs. Muddy Wing Tippers
(Charcoal): In what can only be described as an epic defensive stalemate,
this battle of the newcomers lived up to all the pre-game hype. It was
tit-for-tat through 6 innings as one team would score a run, only to be
answered by the other squad in the next inning. Then it all came down to the
bottom of the 7th inning, with the Muddy Wing Tippers losing 3-2 and
Adam Shoemaker at the plate… Adam proceeded to crush a 3-run walk-off double
for the win!!! And the crowd went crazy!!!! Not even the sprinklers going off
in the outfield could dampen the excitement. Captain of the Muddy Wing Tippers,
Kyle Pettyjohn, said after the game, “I am so proud of our team. We knew coming
in that Social License to Intoxicate will be challenging for the championship
this season, so we anticipated it would be a good contest. Fortunately, our
hard work and mental fortitude carried the day!” Muddy Wing Tippers win 5-3.
KickTease (Red) vs. 2
Legit 2 Kick (Athletic Gray): Kicktease may have dominated the scoreboard,
but 2 Legit 2 Kick is about to dominate this highlight. It started in the
bottom of the 1st inning with a great fingertip grab for an out by
Meg “The Real Deal” Tannehill for 2 Legit to 2 Kick. Her performance was
followed by an amazing reflex catch by Hector “Sure Hands” de Leon in the
bottom of the 3rd inning. Then at the end of the game, Mike “That’s
a” Rapp made a great defensive effort for 2 Legit 2 Kick by catching a ball
that bounced off a teammate’s back for an out. Despite the highlights, Kicktease wins 17-2.
Ballbarians (Cardinal
Red) vs. Skies Out Thighs Out (Sapphire Blue): Skies Out Thighs Out
displayed a lot of thigh during this hot contest, which probably helped them
jump out to an early lead of 1-0 after 2 innings. Anna D’Hooge’s double play in
the top of the first inning didn’t hurt either. From there on out though the
Ballbarians stormed the metaphorical castle, just like those barbarians that
sacked Rome back in the day. It wasn’t all peaches and cream for the
Ballbarians though, as Abdulla Al-Qawasmeh made the SportsCenter not-top ten in
the bottom of the 5th inning by being too strong with his throw to
first base one play, and then having the sun eclipse his vision the next play
as he tried to catch a pop fly. The Ballbarians strength and conditioning
coach, Barry Bonds, said he is going to have Abdulla lay off the weights next
week. Ballbarians win 6-1.
Girls Love Big
Kicks (Cactus Green) vs. Odd
Balls (Purple): In this matchup of veteran squads, both came ready to play.
Girls Love Big Kicks jumped out early, but the Odd Balls held in there with
some stellar defensive plays. Cesar Fuentes made a diving catch after the ball
bounced off his teammate at second base for an out in the top of the 1st
inning. Then in the bottom of the 2nd inning, when it looked like
the Oddballs were about to get on the scoreboard with the bases loaded, Girls
Love Big Kicks came up with a clutch out to turn the tide back in their favor.
The pitcher for the Oddballs, Thomas Torres, struggled on the mound but made up
for it with some defensive hustle such as the double play he helped complete in
the top of the 4th inning. MVP of the contest though went to Brady
Andersen, Captain of Girls Love Big Kicks—every time the Oddballs were
threatening to score, he would come up with a big play in the outfield, not too
mention his solid base-running acumen that scored a couple runs. Girls Love Big Kicks wins 5-0.
