Kickelob Ultra (royal
blue) vs Hashtag Balls (forest green):
Kickelob
Ultra saved their best kickball for the last week, unleashing the beast against
Hashtag Balls. In the top of the 1st, Kickelob loaded the bases and James
Stuart drew a walk from the unusually unsteady pitching of Holla Holla (Scott
Holewinski). Hashtag answered in the bottom half of the inning in similar
fashion after Big Hurt (Adam Huerta) also got a bases loaded walk, capping a
3-run inning to tie it up. Heading into the 6th inning, the game was tied at
4-4 when Kickelob caught small ball fire. With 2 outs, Kickelob rallied off six
straight singles to take a commanding 9-4 lead. Hashtag was unable to catch up
against the stifling pitching of Rob Cooper. With only one extra-base hit the
entire game, Kickelob played textbook small ball and got the best of the
shorthanded Hashtag Balls defense.
Final Score: Kickelob
Ultra 13, Hashtag Balls 4
Brews on First (navy)
vs Bundt Cakes (tropical blue):
Brews
on First was looking to solidify their spot as the #1 seed in the Pikes Peak
Cup tournament, and Bundt Cakes was hoping to spoil their night. Aaron Kennedy
got Bundt Cakes on the board first in the 1st after a leadoff single, scoring
on an RBI single through the infield by Jeff Gratzmiller. Brews on First got on
the board in the 2nd with a 2-out rally highlighted by back-to-back RBI doubles
by Alyson Moreau and Sam Schultz to take a 4-2 lead. In the top of the 5th,
Bundt Cakes’ Jeff Gratzmiller again brought home a Kennedy (Emily this time) on
an RBI double to make it a 5-3 game. Bundt Cakes was unable to get anything
else going in the next two innings, only getting one runner on base. Brews on
First would prevail on this night, but it would be a different story when these
two teams faced each other again in the Pikes Peak Cup.
Final Score: Brews on
First 6, Bundt Cakes 3
Our Captain Swallowed
a Kickball (black) vs Head sHot (cardinal red):
OCSK
and Head sHot came prepared for battle, as this game would go to the wire,
proving these teams were very closely matched. OCSK’s ace pitcher, Erik Martin,
got things started on offense in the top of the 1st on an RBI fielder’s choice,
scoring Shane Martin on the play. Head sHot also quickly got to work in the
1st, after Braxton Finch tied it up with an RBI fielder’s choice for himself.
Head sHot took the lead in the bottom of the 2nd on a blazing RBI double to the
RF gap by Joel Van Wingerden, scoring Baylor Finch to take a 2-1 lead. Baylor
Finch was dealing some serious fire from the mound for Head sHot, only allowing
three total baserunners for OCSK in the next four innings. In the bottom of the
5th, Joel would again try to advance Baylor on a kick to the outfield, but Cody
Schumann would rob him with a stellar catch in left field, and pegging out
Baylor at 2nd base in the process, who was caught not tagging up on the play.
Both teams were held scoreless for the remainder of the game, giving Head sHot
the close win.
Final Score: Head sHot

choice ground-outs. WWEB tied it up in the 6th, when Craig Behler again would
score after a single by Kurt Singer. With runners on base in scoring position
