On a day where an NFL Sunday win was going to show us where
the balance of the league was, we too were defined in our play. Remember, everyone gets better if they work
on it, and some teams have had 4 years to do it!! Sunday Funday is by far our best kickball
experience from weather, to teams, to games…ahhh what a relief it is to have
Sunday Funday!!
Fresh Kicks of Ball
Air vs. Wasted Talent: Garrett
Deheer showed up in this one – he started the game out with a 2-run HR, later
smacked a solo shot, and then made an amazing diving catch in foul left for the
out…Garrett here’s your game ball!! Now
go watch the Packers play terribly J!! Deheer was followed by a 3-run shot by Brad
“I don’t care unless I kick a homerun” Calloway, and another 3-run shot by
Brandon Frawley. Just remember, FKOBA
all have soccer backgrounds, HOWEVER the kicking display in this one (meaning
no bunting – all kicks), was probably the best we will see all year. They would admit the results were great but they
also deserve credit for it too…nice work Fresh Kicks…very impressive display of
booting!! Wasted Talent learned a ton in
this game, and did put it into play late in the matchup, but FKOBA was on
fire…no one would have beat this team in this game!! Fresh
Kicks of Ball Air wins 12-1.
Kevin Bacon vs. Mile
High Kickballers: Kick off your
Sunday shoes, dammit!!! At least these gals should, maybe that would slow them
down a bit! Mile High DEFINITELY laces
up their shoes on Sunday Funday and puts on a “How to bunt effectively,
efficiently, and effortlessly WHILE still being a lady” seminar…come out this
Sunday to see it again!! Followed by,
“How to play error free kickball with style, sophistication, and spunk!!” These leading ladies started their matchup on
a wonderful Sunday morning getting through their lineups twice in 2 innings and
scoring 7 runs. Yes, we have moments
from the “lesser halves” on this team too, but we definitely know who wears the
pants…but we’ll still give credit to Stanilka’s running, beer-in-hand catch in
foul territory…always impressive, this kid is…opponents breathed WTF when he
caught that ball…Stanilka, you are now confined to beers in BOTH hands!! Kevin Bacon mounted a come back late and
scored 1, but Mile High ran the clinic. Mile High Kickballers wins 10-1.
Ballsagna vs. That
One Team: This was definitely the
game of the week!! Dan Burdick got
Ballsagna on the right track with an RBI single and later scored to get
Ballsagna the early lead 2-0. That One
Team instantly responded with 2 runs of their own and suddently we had a game
on our hands!! Justin Spanbauer of TOT
and Dan Burdick of Balls both pitched excellent bouts in this match up – Justin
has a low right-handed delivery that cuts the ball to the right-footed kickers
inside corner, and Dan has a higher left-handed delivery with an extra “tweak”
at release that sends the ball into turbulence!! The Ballsagna group kept their focus in this
one and didn’t abort from their original game plan…executing great ball
placement and aggressive base running to give them more opportunities to
score!! This is exactly what happened,
and even against the stylistic pitching of Spanbauer, scored 2 more runs to go
up 4-2 in the 5th inning. Even the
“people from the newspaper” were commenting about the togetherness of Ballsagna
– we were impressed and Manager of the Year comments were swirling for skipper,
Ashley Moore. Of course, it’s not over
until…well, in this case for GO Kickball, the bottom of the 7th inning is
completed and the score is tied – duh!
Going into the bottom of the 7th inning the score was 4-2 Ballsagna and
many of the fans were even gathering their items for departure. However, the TOT crew had another plan and
they went to work! TOT was able to get
base runners and score 1 to cut the lead to 1 run…Spanbauer came up, took 1 and
fouled 1, on the 3rd pitch he smacked the ball in the gap scoring 1. Then Hallie Myers came up, the crowd was going crazy, everything went into slow motion like it was a movie, and Hallie belted a 2-run walk off for the win, the celebration-pandemonium started!!
That One Team wins 5-4.
