Summer 2015 Tuesday Coed Kickball @ Goodale Park

Saved By the Ball almost completed the shut out in their 4-1 victory over Slim Kickins. They surrendered their only run in the 9th inning. The game was a defensive battle with both teams going scoreless through 5 innings. Saved By the Ball was finally able to manufacture some runs late that allowed them to rely on their superb defense to carry them to victory.

RIP Haberman completed the 9th inning comeback in dramatic fashion to squeak out the victory over Kick grAss. RIP Haberman entered the bottom of the 9th inning down 2 runs and were trailing the entire game. After rallying for 2 runs to tie the game, they had a runner in scoring position with 2 outs. A kick up the middle of the infield, led to a close play at the plate with the runner just beating the throw as he crossed home. We may not have another game as exciting as this one all season, as it came down to the final play at home plate that would potentially be the final out or game winning run.

The slippery field conditions had no effect on Dadbodies as they were able to come away with a 14-2 win over the Grade School Champs. Dadbodies was able to hammer deep shots to the outfield and speed around the bases as the Grade School Champs had some difficulty tracking down the ball in the mud. The Dadbodies' defense was also able to hold down Grade School's offense, that was missing some of their key big kickers.

Saved by the Ball jumped out to an early lead and never looked back in their match up with Glenn YAC. Saved by the Ball had consistent offense throughout the night and even put up a few 5 run innings. Glenn YAC had a hard time getting any momentum on offense as they were facing a stingy defense that did not give up any freebies. Saved by the Ball is now 3-1 and looking to move to the top of the standings by season's end.

Drinkers with a Kicking Problem showed why they are a force to be reckoned with in the league. They came away with a 23-4 victory over RIP HABERMAN. Drinkers were able to string together base hits, run the bases aggressively and show off great power to drive runners in. They will be looking to keep up their high level of play to hold onto the number one spot in the standings.

Kick grAss was able to come away with the 9-6 victory in their battle with Glenn YAC. Kick grAss was able to jump out to an early lead and never relinquished it throughout the contest. The game did remain close, as a they never were able to build a comfortable lead. Glenn YAC kept battling and were even shorthanded a few players. Kick grAss was able to bring in enough runs and play some solid defense when it mattered, to come away with the W.

The Dadbodies didn't have any problems with the second game of their double header, earning a 13-1 victory over Pitches Be Crazy. Dadbodies were able to find the gaps in the defense and capitalize. Their defense also impressed, holding Pitches Be Crazy to a single run. Dadbodies will look to carry the momentum from this game into their last two weeks of the regular season and into the playoffs.

Drinkers with a Kicking Problem and Grade School Champs met up for an exciting 8-8 tie. The game went back and forth throughout, with both teams holding the lead at different times. Wet conditions made every play interesting as anything could happen. Drinkers with a Kicking Problem were able to score 2 runs in their last at bat to tie it up. Then the Grade School Champs had a runner on 3rd base with 2 outs, but came up just short of him scoring for the walk off victory. After such great play by both teams, it was fitting that neither team went home with a loss.
