Week 6 Results

We've Got The Runs and Tech USA - Where My Pitches At got things started out for us in Week 6. These two teams battled it out in a defensive showdown for most of the game. The major play of the game came late when We've Got The Runs had a runner on first. Their kicker whiffed on a ball but the ball hit his back leg and went into fair territory. He then let the ball hit him as he was trying to run down to first. That's a double kick outside of the kicking box and an automatic out. Tech USA wins this one 1-0.

Last week, Your Mom Makes a Dry Roast had to forfeit for not having enough girls. This week they were able to take advantage of their opponent not having enough girls as The Balled and The Beautiful were more Balled than Beautiful. They played a game that didn't count that was filled with fun, and a player falling down after he kicked the ball supposedly because "home plate was slippery". The best moment of the game was when one of the players on one of the teams (withholding details to protect the identity) was called back to the plate for munting. His response to the munt call was, "I have thin legs, the ball doesn't go very far". Classic. Your Mom Makes a Dry Roast takes advantage of the forfeit.

Quit Yer Pitchin took on I Already Hit That on Field C. Highlights from this game include Ryan striking out and a volleyball bump pass to end the game. In the 5th inning I Already Hit That kicked the ball to Patrick who volleyed the ball to Katie who caught it for the last out. If field C looks a little more like the Grand Canyon next week, don't worry, that's just where Erik slid into third. Quit Yer Pitchin won 2-1.

The early game on field D was probably the matchup of the night. Vicious and Delicious and Suck My Kick were both poised to take advantage of any mistakes from the top two teams. These two defensive juggernauts did some serious battle but Brian Henriquez was somehow able to score the games lone run. Suck My Kick 1 Vicious and Delicious 0.

Don't Touch Our Balls destroyed Raging Balls. While our last game was filled with excellent defense, this one not so much. Don't Touch Our Balls broke Barry Bonds record for most home runs in a single season, in one game. The team in green now gives up 7.5 runs per game on average. Raging Balls were able to score 4 runs, impacting the standings and giving the Seminoles the leg up in the tiebreaker for first place. Oh yeah and Ty made an absolutely dreadful play on a ground ball. Don't Touch Our Balls won 14-4.

New Kicks On The Block took on the Ballkickers this week in a game in honor of breast cancer awareness. The Evil Empire, deciding that since they were playing the pink team, should allow the other team to win. Ballkickers, who had only scored 1 run all season, were able to get 4 home and won the game 4 to 1. There was some debate over whether New Kicks On The Block truly intended this game to be in honor of breast cancer awareness or if they just made up the excuse after they lost. To prove the doubters wrong, Mike was offering free breast exams at MacDintons. So the debate continues, did New Kicks On The Block lose because of breast cancer awareness or did they lose because Mike had 4 tallboy Icehouses in hobo bags before the game? According to Rachel, "Mike is more fun to play drunk than sober because he's not such an asshole".

The Seminoles and Anything But Blue Balls did battle this week. When I say did battle, I mean argued a lot. The Seminoles were accused of making up rules, like the catcher has to stay behind the kicker until the ball is kicked (actually that's rule 8.04). I know the Seminoles get a lot of heat for arguing the rules but the truth of the matter is, as a team, they probably know the rules better than anyone else and are sometimes unfortunately more than happy to argue that point. Anything But Blue Balls suffered another frustrating defeat and lost 6-3 agains the Seminoles.

Our final game of the night was Kick In A Box and Bull Gators. This game was a barnburner with runs being scored all over the place. In fact at one point during the game the Bull Gators defense was able to record a triple play but still ended up giving up a run on the play. Offense was the name of the game, except for when Jay fouled out. That highlight was certainly less than a key offensive moment. Bull Gators come out on top in this slug fest, 8-7
