Week 7 Recap

We had some interesting plays out on the field last night, thanks in no small part to the wind. There was also quite a bit of movement in the standings. Lets look at some of last night's actions, shall we?

After a strong start to the season, Smack My Pitch Up extended it's slide to a 3 game losing streek last night. Wind was definitely a factor as a couple of balls, that on other nights would probably be hit deep in the outfield, ended up stopping in mid air and blown back into th infield. The key play of the game was definitely Courtney's slide into first (if you want to call it a slide). Courtney was running hard down the first base line and tripped over the only remaining blade of grass on Field A, resulting in a tumble and a face plant at first base. We are all glad that she wasn't hurt so we can properly laugh at the play. Quit Yer Pitchin won 3-0.

Last week, BJ from Id Hit It Again gave a rousing pep talk to his team and that seems to have worked as it scared away the Also Available In Sober girls, resulting in a forfeit for the red team. Then again maybe the pep talk wasn't as intimidating as it could have been as AAIS demolished IHIA in a game that didn't count. Id Hit It Again won by forfeit (that's 5-0 for standings purposes according to the WAKA rules on standings).

Don't Touch Our Balls defeated Suck My Kick 7-2. I could say more about this game but I have been censored by Anderson.

The late game on Field A had the worst chugg off ever as Chris from All Banged Up seemed more interested in taking a beer shower than chugging (and still lost). That didn't stop the men in black (and women in black) from continuing to put runs on the board. After taking them 4 weeks to score their first run they are now in 9th place for runs scored, adding 3 to their total last night. All Banged Up's new found scoring prominance was no match, however, for Anything But Blue Balls vicious war chant of "Skinamarinky dinky dink, skinamarinky do, I love you." Anything But Blue Balls proved victorious 6-3.

Saved By the Ball and BA-52's faced off on Field B. What is there to say about the BA-52's. After 7 weeks of play, they still have yet to post anything positive in the standings but they are having a great time out there. In all seriousness, isn't that what WAKA Kickball is all about? Last night the BA-52's decided to have a luau and gave their best HI-50 effort. Thy lost to Saved By The Ball 4-0 but they had a great time doing it as everyone got leied.

The most highly anticipated game of the night fell to Field C and was contested between the Seminoles and the mighty Balls N Dolls. I asked Biard what was blogworthy about the game and he said everything, without giving me any details so I had to get my story from Balls N Dolls. The Seminoles got off to an early lead and after the first couple of innings were already up 7-1. The Balls N Dolls fought hard, together as a team to chisel away at the lead but ultimately fell short with the final score being 7-6. With Balls N Dolls loss last night we no longer have any undefeated teams this season and Dont Touch Our Balls is back in first place (considering tiebreakers). After the game Chief Dale told his Seminoles, "You beat the best! You are the best!". Not to get too technical but a quick look at the standings shows the Seminoles to actually be 3rd best so far this season.
