Fort Collins - Week 3 - Highlights

Greenbriar Park Field 1 (5:45pm)

2 Legit 2 Quit (Navy) vs. Team America (Royal Blue): 2 Legit 2 Quit jumped out to a super legitimate lead in the top of the 1st inning after a two-run homer by Jordan “Cassius” Clay. But then Team America answered immediately in the bottom of the 1st inning after Jared “The Jumper” Peterson knocked in a RBI with two outs, and followed it up with some fancy foot work on the base paths for a score of his own. Now that Team America had the lead, it was time for Big Ben Burnham to step up to the plate and KO some kickers. Burnham recorded eight straight outs through three innings before finally letting on a base runner. By then, the game was almost over, and Team America could breath easy! Team America wins 5-4.

Greenbriar Park Field 2 (5:45pm)

Cheba Hut (Forest Green) vs. Balls and Dolls (Violet): After a breakout game last week, Balls and Dolls continued to show amazing skills for such a young squad! Mark Langford smashed a three-run homer, Morgan Jones impressed everyone with a no-look-over-the-back toss to third base for an out, and then Ian “The Beautiful Angel” Schroff nailed a home run for the cherry on top. After the game, kickball analyst Wolf Blitzer had this to say: “The top story for this season is the rise of Balls and Dolls—will they be able to challenge the perennial contenders? Will they be able to refine their step up to the plate, literally and figuratively? Only time will tell!” Balls and Dolls wins 22-1.

Greenbriar Park Field 1 (6:45pm)

Flint Tropics (Neon Yellow) vs. Oilers (Heliconia): In this rematch of the Spring 2017 championship game, tensions were high. Both teams offensive prowess was on display with runs being scored every single inning of the game! Kevin “The Galvanizer” Gallant from the Flint Tropics opened the floodgates with two RBIs in the top of the 1st and an RBI in the top of the 2nd. Then Garrett “Oh Captain, My Captain” Dean from the Oilers answered with a three run homer in the bottom of the 1st. But the Oilers still had some catching up to do, so Russ “Gunslinger” Ehlinger rose to the occasion and knocked home an in-the-park grand slam in the bottom of the 2nd! Finally, Sam “I am” LaRue from the Oilers made one last attempt to tie up the game by scoring two runs in the final inning… But the Flint Tropics could not be overtaken! Now we will just have to look forward to a playoff rematch! Flint Tropics win 17-14.

Greenbriar Park Field 2 (6:45pm)

Little Lebowski Urban Achievers (Ash Grey) vs. Kickin Grass and Takin Names (Sapphire Blue): Little Lebowski Urban Achievers had some impressive highlights from a few subs, but Kickin Grass and Takin Names had the play of the game—Kyle Oldham had a loooooooooonnnnngggg throw from the outfield at home to stop the runner from scoring! See the highlight here! Oldham’s MVP performance would help secure another win for his team. Watch out for Kickin Grass and Takin Names! Kickin Grass and Takin Names win 11-3.

Greenbriar Park Field 3 (6:45pm)

Ballz n Dollz (Neon Orange) vs. Florida Mike and the Free Ballers (Purple):  This was just some good, old-fashioned, bump and grind kickball action! Nothing fancy, just back to basics, down and gritty, tit-for-tat, kickball stratergizing. Ballz n Dollz took an early lead 2-0 after the top of the 1st, but Florida Mike and the Free Ballers, with their two game winning streak on the line, would make things interesting by the 4th inning, with the score still just 5-3 in favor of Ballz and Dollz. Jeremy Glanzer, captain of Ballz n Dollz, commented after the game, “Florida Mike and the Free Ballers really put up a fight in this one, but we are a really confident squad this season. I think we can hang with anyone.” Ballz n Dollz wins 5-3.
