Florida Mike and the Free Ballers (Purple)
vs. Kickin Grass and Takin Names (Sapphire
Blue):
This matchup featured two
veteran squads, and they did not disappoint! Defense held strong through three
innings, with the one and only Florida Mike Mangione completing a clutch double
play at first base in the top of the 2nd to keep Kickin' Grass and
Takin' Names at bay. Then came the top of the 4th inning when Bryan
“The Slammer” Salimbeni finally broke through with a strategic pop up that
scored two RBIs to get Kickin' Grass and Takin' Names on the board! Finally, they
put on the defensive clamps with Bryan “Double Shot” Caffee’s flying squirrel
catch as pitcher to put the kibosh on Florida Mike and the Free Ballers
potential comeback in the bottom of the 6th inning. While Kickin' is used to taking names, they let Florida Mike keep his! Kickin Grass and Takin Names wins 4-2.

Cheba Hut
(Forest Green) vs. 2 Legit 2 Kick (Navy):
Low on players Cheba Hut unfortunately had
to forfeit, but that didn’t stop these two teams from sticking around for a
practice game. Even official Bright Shirt Dane Sr. got some rolls in for a fun
night of good ole kickball. Both teams will be flipping into next week so their opponents had
better be ready. 2 Legit 2 Kick wins
3-0.

Ballz n Dollz (Neon Orange) vs. vs. Balls and
Dolls (Violet):
There were a lot of Balls and a lot of Dolls in this game, but only
one winner! The old timers, Ballz n Dollz, jumped out to an early lead after
scoring four runs in the top of the 1st inning with some extremely
impressive ball placement. But by the 2nd inning, the
newcomers--Balls and Dolls--would begin their comeback with a solo home run by
Mark “Lanky Foot” Langford. By the end of the inning, Balls and Dolls would
have put up ten runs! Ballz and Dollz never backed down though, with defensive
MVP Alison Ford “Tough” completing two key outs in the bottom of the 3rd.
Then Ryan “The Undertaker” Unangst for Ballz n Dollz knocked home two RBIs it
the top of the 6th to make things interesting. Unfortunately, the
power of the 80s was stronger than the Emojis in this one. Balls and Dolls win 17-7.

Team America (Royal Blue) vs. Oilers
(Heliconia):
In the most highly
anticipated game of the week, Team America’s Jaime “Fuego” Fulgencio kicked off
his team’s lead with a Grand Slam in the bottom of the 2nd inning,
totaling seven runs scored for the inning. The Oilers tried to close in on the
six-run gap with Billy Miles’s top of the 4th inning three run home
run but it wasn’t enough. Team America wanted the win and made sure more of
their players crossed home plate than their opponents. Garret Dean, captain of
the Oilers, commented after the game, “Both Team America and us were missing
some key players tonight. We look forward to a matchup in the postseason with
both squads at full strength!” Team
America wins 16-11.

Flint
Tropics (Neon Yellow) vs. Little Lebowski Urban Achievers (Ash Grey):
With the “Top Dogs” (aka the Flint Tropics), playing in
this game more runs were projected, but both teams really stepped up their
defensive efforts which made scoring tough. From the beginning, Little Lebowski
Urban Achievers let it be known that their defense was sturdy with a Darren “Diver”
Ashton’s bottom of the 1st out of this world diving catch preventing
the Flint Tropics from scoring. Courtney Norgren’s bouncy catch in the bottom
of the 3rd continued to keep Flint Tropics off the scoreboard.
Finally, in the bottom of the 4th, Monica “Big Moment” Gomez’s
single RBI provided the momentum for Flint Tropics offensive push. The Flint
Tropics were somehow able to make magic happen as they pulled ahead with a
three-run lead. Another Flint Tropics lady stand-in sealed the three inning defensive
shut out with a sticky hand catch between first base and second base for the
third out of the top of the 5th inning. Flint Tropics win 5-2.
