Greenbriar Park Field 2 (5:45pm)

Florida Mike and the Free Ballers (Purple) vs. Oilers (Heliconia): Sometimes kickball is heavy on runs, sometimes it is more of a defensive game, and that is exactly what this game was all about - neither team tonight was going to make scoring an easy task! The Oilers took the lead with Kyle Kusmick’s first RBI of the night in the top of the 3^rd, then Florida Mike and the Free Ballers immediately responded with their own single run in the bottom of the 3^rd. That’s when the legs of the Oilers started to heat up in the 4^th with three runs scored, providing a little bit of a cushion but not enough for Florida Mike and the Free Ballers to lose hope. Kusmick went on to take MVP of the night, with crowning achievement coming in the bottom of the 6^th on a double play throw from third to first base. The Oilers pulled ahead in the top of the 7^th with another three runs scored to solidify their win! Oilers wins 7-2.

Team America (Royal Blue) vs. Balls and Dolls (Violet):

With both teams coming off wins in week three, this was sure to be a nail biter! Team America immediately let Balls and Dolls know that they were here to play with Jarred Peterson’s lead off solo homer in the top of the 1^st! With three runs scored, Team America took the field and showed Balls and Dolls just how strong their defense was with by not allowing any runs in the 1^st-3^rd innings. Taylor Nichols made an awesome high pop catch in right field in the bottom of the first, solidifying Team America’s defense. Emily Brandt from Balls and Dolls also had a great “sticky hand” catch in right field in the top of the 3^rd.  Balls and Dolls had a slow offensive warm up, but by the bottom of the 4^th they were on the scoreboard. Balls and Dolls reinforced their defense by the top of the 5^th and completely shut out Team America for the rest of the game.
