Lee Martinez Park - Week 7 Highlights

2 Legit 2 Kick (Athletic Gray) vs. Skies Out Thighs Out (Sapphire Blue): Skies Out Thighs Out finally brought out the offense on this night while 2 Legit 2 Kick proceeded to score more runs than they had all season. However, the MVP of the night was Tom Jorgenson from Skies Out Thighs Out who knocked home a 2-run dinger in the bottom of the 2^nd inning that really opened up the metaphorical floodgates for his team. While the final score may be misleading in terms of this game’s competitive spirit, fortunately we can measure the quality of play in relation to hearts and minds of those competing as well… Not too sound corny or anything. Skies Out Thighs Wins 23-3.

Muddy Wing Tippers (Charcoal) vs. Ballbarians (Cardinal Red): Fresh off their first loss of the season, the Muddy Wing Tippers wanted to bounce back and make it known they are still gunning for a championship. After scoring four runs in the top of the 1^st inning, Kyle “Oh Captain, My Captain” Pettyjohn proceeded to hit a 2-run home run in the 3^rd inning to give the Muddy Wing Tippers a 7-1 lead. The Ballbarians didn’t go down without a fight though as Colton “The Crusher” Cuny made a great double play in the top of the 4^th inning to stop the bleeding temporarily. Unfortunately for the Ballbarians though, Samantha “Frisky Fingers” Brooke ended things in the bottom of the 7^th inning with an impressive reflex fingertip that ensured the Muddy Wing Tippers would stay on top for good. Muddy Wing Tippers win 9-2.

Social License to Intoxicate (Carolina Blue) vs. Girls Love Big Kicks (Cactus Green): In a battle between newcomers (Social License to Intoxicate) and veterans (Girls Love Big Kicks), this game ended up being quite the nailbiter! Girls Love Big Kicks jumped out to a 2-0 lead after the first inning while showing great defensive prowess along the way. Not one to throw in the towel early, Social License to Intoxicate came back in the top of the 3^rd inning to claim a 3-2 advantage. Meanwhile, Tivory Luevane made a diving catch in the top of the 5^th inning that halted a bases loaded threat from Girls Love Big Kicks which kept Social License to Intoxicate in the lead. Finally, in the bottom of the 7^th inning, Steve Walker from Girls Love Big Kicks once again rose to occasion and bombed a 2-run walk-off home run for victory!!! Walker said after the game, “I was just trying to do my best Sid Bream imitation…” Girls Love Big Kicks wins 4-3.

KickTease (Red) vs. Odd Balls (Purple): KickTease was hoping to use this game as a springboard for their playoff run, and boy, were they looking solid!! Despite trailing 1-0 to the Oddballs after the 1^st inning, KickTease proceeded to tie up things in the 2^nd before a home run from Joshua Devine in the bottom of the 3^rd inning put them on top for good. The Odd Balls once again stalled on the offensive end while just a couple defensive lapses hurt them big in the long run. The captain for the Odd Balls, Rebecca Benedict, mentioned that they might be in the market for a new strength and conditioning coach at the end of the season. Word on the street is that the Odd Balls are in talks with Todd Helton to be a player/coach going forward. In this game though, Kicktease wins 7-2.
