Memorial Ballpark - Week 6 Highlights

Pitches Be Crazy vs. Kickboxing Kickballers: In preparation for the Pikes Peak Cup, both teams knew it was time to fine tune their skills. Both defenses were rock solid in the 1st, with neither team scoring. PBC broke the scoreless tie in the second to go up 1-0. Beau Kelly went into beast mode in the top of the 3rd and sent a shot to left center for a 3 run HR. PBC would score 1 more in the inning, but an insane sliding catch by Shane Kinkennon ended the inning. PBC wanted more, and got some with a 5 run outburst in the 4th to go up 10-0. KBKB got the dirt off their shoulders and scored 2 in the bottom half. KBKB found a way to keep PBC off the base paths in the 5th, while rallying offensively to put up another run. PBC eventually pulled away on this night, scoring 4 in the 6th and 1 more in the 7th to put an exclamation point on an astounding game. Pitches Be Crazy wins, 15-3.

Super Eagles vs SchoolYard AllStars: The SchoolYard AllStars came to the field full ready to piece together the perfect playoff squad. The Super Eagles were shorthanded and couldn't field a full team, giving SYAS the win by forfeit. The scrimmage that ensued, however, was so storybook-like that we just had to record the highlights! SYAS was able to get out to an early 1-0 lead in the 1st. The Super Eagles responded in the best way possible, with the father/son combo of Kevin and Emmerich Leonardo scoring runs in the top of the 2nd. SYAS was flabbergasted but able to regain their composure and score 2 in the bottom half thanks to a Matt Boggs bomb. SYAS squeezed a run out in the 4^th. The Super Eagles needed runs, and thanks to some handy recruits for the next game on hand, were able to erase the deficit! The Super Eagles scored 1 in the 6^th, but the SYAS scrimmage squad stayed resilient and scraped across the game winning run. SchoolYard AllStars wins, 3-0 (forfeit)

Saved By The Ball vs Bazinga: All season long, it’s been no secret that Bazinga hopes to end this season with another championship. This passionate drive sure did show in the 1^st inning, when they scored a massive 7 runs, thanks to a 3 run triple by Craig Duncan. Matt Howes wanted to make sure Saved By the Ball wouldn't strike back, converting an unassisted double play to end the top of the 2nd. Bazinga kept the pedal to the metal with one run in the 2nd, 4 runs in the 3rd and another in the 4th to go up 13-0. SBTB just couldn’t handle the idea of a Bazinga shutout – luckily, an overthrow in the top of the 5th gave SBTB the chance to get a run in. Michael Spekhardt used that momentum, and nailed a sensational diving catch to end Bazinga’s 5th inning. Michael turned his defensive intensity into offensive power with a solo shot in the 6th. SBTB had one last pop, and scratched across 3 more runs in the 7th. Bazinga wins, 13-5.

CareCore vs Lights Out: CareCore came out with a roster of 7, as compared to a fully loaded Lights Out. Lights Out put up an early run in the 1st and used their defense to preserve the lead. Braylon Adams had other ideas for CareCore, sending a solo shot to right field to knot the game up in the top of the 3rd. Seeing that infuriated Lights Out and they went off for 3 runs in the bottom of the 4th. Wes Wilhelm was on the mound for Lights Out and struck out CareCore in the 5th, then proceeded to kick an opposite foot solo home run to bolster their lead.  CareCore made a valiant effort, but Lights Out took home the win. Lights Out wins, 3-0 (forfeit)

Hangin With Patch Adams vs. Chocolate Sensation: Hangin With Patch Adams  hoped to get another statement win, while Chocolate Sensation was clinging to the top seed coming in to Week 6. Chocolate Sensation came out of the gates firing on all cylinders, scoring 4 runs in the 1st. Demetrius Harris was on the mound for Chocolate Sensation and made Hangin With Patch Adams look a little silly with a brutal combo of pitches, forcing Hangin With Patch Adams  hitless through 2. Chocolate Sensation  was solid on offense too, scoring 2 more to go up 6-0. Harris wasn't letting anything get to him, as another 1-2-3 inning for Hangin With Patch Adams made it 3 innings of no-hit kickball. Chocolate Sensation added 2 more in the 3rd and 4 runs in the 4th to go up 12-0, with the no-hitter still intact. Jimmy Sheehan of Chocolate Sensation  made 2 spectacular plays to keep Demetrius' no hitter alive, and added the dagger run with a solo shot in the 5th to go up 13-0. In the top of the 7^th, Hangin With Patch Adams hadn’t given up hope – The 2^nd  kicker bunts one down the line and it stays fair, ending the no-hitter at approximately the 6 1/3 inning! Chocolate Sensation wins 13-0.
