City Park Field 1
New Kicks on the Block (Sapphire Blue) vs. Wombat Mermaids (Kiwi
Green): Kickball is a crazy game… But when you add-in 20-40 mile-per-hour
gusts of wind that are blowing over cones, things get even crazier!!! This
crazy contest started out promising for New Kicks on the Block as they loaded
the bases in the top of the 1st inning, but the Wombat Mermaid’s new
star pitcher Melvin “The Pistol” Anderson was able to eventually find the
strike zone and get out of the inning with two consecutive great plays for
outs. Then the Wombat Mermaids turned up the offense in the bottom of the 2nd
inning with a two-run home run by Allen “The Golden Boy” Koprowski’s. Once
again though, in the top of 3rd and 7th innings New Kicks
on the Block loaded the bases, but the Wombat Mermaid’s defense led by
Anderson’s MVP effort kept them at bay with the help of some double plays.
Despite Jackie “The Road Runner” Berezoski’s impressive base running that
scored a couple runs for New Kicks on the Block, the Wombat Mermaids proved
they were better equipped to handle the elements on this night. Wombat Mermaids win 8-2.
City Park Field 2
Kicktease (Forest Green) vs. There’s Always Next Year (Tennessee Orange): For awhile there
it looked like it might be another repeat of Kicktease’s soul-crushing...ok ruff loss
from last week, but they really showed their determination in this one!! All the
veteran experience for both squads really slowed things down as both teams had
a strategic game plan going in—catch the ball good and kick the ball hard.
Unfortunately, the elements really hindered the flow despite a beautiful web
gem double play with the bases loaded in the bottom of the 4th
inning by Sean Blair and Andrew Miner from There’s Always Next Year. You can
see the replay right here. This time though, Kicktease’s soul was not crushed. Kicktease wins 3-2.
City Park Field 3
Lunchbox Violators
(Daisy Yellow) vs. Social License to Intoxicate (Orange): “If
it wasn’t for that one inning…” is what a lot of Lunchbox Violators fans were
saying after this game. Social License to Intoxicate jumped out to early lead
on a 2-run home run in the bottom of the 1st inning, but things
really got out of hand in the bottom of the 3rd inning… Let’s just
say that there were so many home runs, that the official couldn’t keep track of
individual stats, now that's violating! After the carnage was over, Social License to Intoxicate had
scored 7 runs and was leading 9-1. Dicky V, ESPN college basketball analyst and
kickball aficionado couldn’t contain himself when he screamed out, “Those
PTPers (“Primetime Players”) on Social License to Intoxicate are so good, they
should open up a clinic—they could even charge co-pays!!!” There was one bright
spot for the Lunchbox Violators though—Brian Strock kicked two solo home runs in
the top of the 3rd and 6th innings. Way to go Brian! Social License to Intoxicate
wins 10-3.
City Park Field 4
Odd Balls (Purple) vs. Left Sharks (Carolina Blue): In this matchup
of experience versus youth, anything could happen… And it did! The Odd Balls
jumped out to an early lead of 4-1 in the bottom of 2nd inning, but
the Left Sharks quickly closed the gap and actually had the lead 7-5 going into
the bottom of the 6th inning. Then Adam Davis of the Oddballs
stepped up to the plate… And crushed a three run home run out of the park to
take the lead!!! Thomas Torres, long time captain of the Odd Balls, said after
the game, “Adam’s kick was so amazing, it brought a tear to my eye…” From there the Odd Balls were able to hold off Left Sharks. Meanwhile,
Nadia Fahoum, captain of the Left Sharks had this to say after the game: “I
liked our team’s enthusiasm tonight, we seemed to stay in unison, and hey, we're Left Sharks!" then did a "mic drop" and walked away...we hear you can now buy Left Shark costumes...Theme Week is coming up!! Odd Balls win 8-7.
