Week 5 Recap

Holy Crap! Can you believe we've got 5 weeks in the books already? We don't have a whole lot left of the regular season. All we have left is 3 weeks of the regular season 2 weeks of extra weeks where you play whoever the hell you want, a mid season party on Mar 27th at Wings Gone Wild (oops did I let that slip?) playoffs and an end of season party. Now that I think of it, we have quite a bit left. Anyways, lets get to the action.

The early game on Field A has Who's got Asstastic Balls against I'd Kick That. WGAB were showing off the power stroke, knocking outfielders down with their balls. Unfortunately, it didn't amount to much and it definitely didn't counter their awful defense. Actually, it wasn't even WGAB's defense, it was Erik's, who pretty much set the record for most unforced errors ever committed in a game. At one point, Erik tried throwing the ball to get a runner out but he threw it underhand and it went way over the runner's head. Another attempt to throw someone out resulted in Erik pegging his own player. We will never know if I'd Kick That actually played a good game or if they just capitalized on the poor play of the other team. Either way, I'd Kick That won 5-1.

By the way, I looked it up and it turns out WGAB is a Christian radio station in Newburgh, Indiana. 1180AM baby. They are a division of Faith Broadcasting - Music you can trust, because you know, you just can't trust most music these days. I dare someone to call the radio station and get on the air and yell "Who's Got Asstastic Balls".

Quit Yer Pitchin took on Looking to Score on field B. Quit Yer Pitchin did an awful lot of running around the bases this game. Maybe next week they should work on how to tie a shoe. Courtney had a nice scrape on her knee from falling on her way to first and Sean tripped over home plate while scoring. Quiy Yer Pitchin won 10-2.

Lick My Wet Cleat and We've Got The Runs took to field C in the early timeslot. We've Got The Runs were feeling pretty good about their fluke win last week and were hoping to be victorious again this week when Lick My Wet Cleat showed up with only 4 guys and a full roster of girls. So much for that idea. The Lick My Wet Cleat Girls kicked some serious ass. All of the guys from the team who did not show up this week will now be benched for the rest of the season. Lick My Wet Cleat won 7-0.

We Like 'Em Young faced off against Cleats and Cleavage in one of the tightest games this season. This game was extremely close and either team could have won. Five innings weren't enough to settle this game, 6 weren't either. In the bottom of the 7th inning, Cleats and Cleavage were able to get a runner to third with no outs. The next kicker just tried to kick the ball as far as he could and popped out to center field, allowing the runner from third base to score easily on the tag up and win the game in walk-off fashion. Cleats and Cleavage won 2-1.

Suck My Kick vs 99 Problems But A Pitch Ain't One was possibly the matchup of the week and the teams did not disappoint. Both teams threatened at many points in the game, putting runners in scoring position and in one case 99 Problems even loaded the bases but in every rally, the defense clamped down to extinguish the fire. The score was tied at 0 until the bottom of the 4th inning when Suck My Kick was finally able to score 2 and hold on to win the game 2-0.

There was a whole lot of yellow on Field C as the Seminoles faced off against Don't Go Chasing Waterballs. There was some major news that was made in this game. That's right folks, the Seminole's dominance is over. Don't Go Chasing Waterballs were able to put a hold on that powerful Seminole offense and limited the Seminoles to only winning 4-0.
