Fort Collins - Week 2 - Highlights

Greenbriar Park Field 1 (5:45pm)

Little Lebowski Urban Achievers (Ash Grey) vs. Ballz n Dollz (Neon Orange):

Ballz N Dollz jumped out early in this one, scoring two runs in the bottom of the 1^st inning and then never looking back! Little Lebowski Urban Achievers made a run at a comeback towards the end of the game, and Darren Ashton’s diving catch out in left field was certainly impressive—see the highlight here—but it wasn’t quite enough this go around. Ballz n Dollz wins 6-3.

Greenbriar Park Field 2 (5:45pm)

Cheba Hut (Forest Green) vs. Florida Mike and the Free Ballers (Purple): Once again, Florida Mike and the Free Ballers showcased their veteran skills early-on, scoring eleven runs in the top of the 2^nd inning with one heckuva offensive on-slaught! It started with Brent “The Bomb Slinger” Behler’s solo home run, then Sara “Rambunctious” Rice slugged in a double that scored three more runs, then Robert “The Axeman” kicked a two-run homer, and finally the inning ended with another home run by “The Bomb Slinger”. Crazy stuff!!! Cheba Hut fought back though, with Tate “Handy-man” Hughes making some impressive catches, and Joe “Frisky” Fins giving it his all on the base paths. The experience and runs total of Florida Mike and the Freeballers was just too much too overcome though. Florida Mike and the Free Ballers win 19-4.

Greenbriar Park Field 1 (6:45pm)

Oilers (Heliconia) vs. Kickin Grass and Takin Names (Sapphire Blue):

Talk about a rivalry game! Kickin Grass and Takin Names took drew first blood in the top of the 1^st inning by scoring three runs, but the Oilers would answer with two of their own scores in the bottom of 1^st. From there on out, Kickin Grass and Takin Names was able to maintain their slim lead inning-by-inning. Things got a little heated, but the important thing to remember is that kickball is fun, right?  At least that's why we started doing it here in Fort Collins!!  Kickin Grass and Takin Names wins 7-5.

Greenbriar Park Field 2 (6:45pm)

Balls and Dolls (Violet) vs. 2 Legit 2 Quit (Navy):

So much for that newbie status—Balls and Dolls looked like a veteran squad in this contest! They scored a run in five out of the seven innings on their way to a shut out defensively. Finally, Mark Langford from Balls and Dolls iced the game in the top of the 7^th with a two-run double. During the post-game news conference, Justine Noren, Captain from Balls and Dolls had this to say: “We really hit our stride as a team in this contest, clicking on all cylinders—defense and offense. The sky is the limit for us!” Balls and Dolls wins 11-0.

Greenbriar Park Field 3 (6:45pm)

Flint Tropics (Neon Yellow) vs. Team America (Royal Blue):

This game quickly turned into a home run contest with Chris Woodruff, Matt Kelly, and Kevin Gallant all crushing homers for the Flint Tropics in the early innings. Then early-season MVP candidate and Captain Matt Kelly also drove home a two-run triple in the bottom of the 4^th inning to really put the heat on. Kelly would go on to hit for the cycle and cement his front-runner status for MVP! Flint Tropics win 16-4.
