Week 7 Recap

Lets just get right to the action.

Looking to Score and 99 Problems but a Pitch Ain't One got things started with the camo theme. Actually the theme more ended up being Army vs Marines as both teams were represented by members of those branches of service. Looking to Score represented the Army and 99 Problems represented the Marines. The game was pretty tight and after 5 innings the score was tied 2-2. True to form, the Marines wanted to keep fighting and play in extra innings. Unfortunately, the Army, represented by Looking to Score was scared and turned tail in full retreat, deciding rather to end the game in a 2-2 tie. A little disclaimer here that my father was a Marine so I might be slightly biased. Semper Fi 99 Problems, Semper Fi.

Field B had Don't go Chasing Waterballs and We've Got The Runs. They certainly did have the runs in this game with lots of scoring from both teams. What was the key? I guess the teams figured out how to kick the ball on the ground. The big difference in this game was that Bruno had a hug fest and hugged/molested people at each base as he ran the bases, preventing them from fielding the ball. Don't Go Chasing Waterballs won this one 6-4.

Lick My Wet Cleat and Who's got Asstastic Balls took to field C. This could have been one for the ages, a bit of a David vs Goliath. David and Goliath were tied at 4 after 5 innings. Goliath decided to take a lead from the Army and settled for the tie rather than play an extra inning. Apparently Lick My Wet Cleat was pretty intimidated by the league's last place team. Or maybe they were intimidated by the possibility receiving a second loss in a row after their loss to 99 Problems last week. This game tied 4-4.

The second game on Field A was I'd Kick That vs Cleats and Cleavage. It wasn't a good night for Cleats and Cleavage captain, Mike, thanks to Lindsey. First Lindsey beat him in the chug off, then she got him out in the first, then kicked the ball right over him in the second. At least mike was able to strike someone out. Yes folks, it is possible to strike out in kickball. There was also some incident with a spilled beer that went flying and hit a ref who was busy holding his beverage in one hand and texting with the other. I guess it was one of those things you had to be there for but Jessica thought it was pretty funny because she was laughing hysterically while telling me the story and I had pretty much no idea what she was talking about. After 5 innings, the score was tied 1-1. Not wanting to be like Lick My Wet Cleat or Looking to Score, both teams decided to play an extra inning. Cindy lead off with a walk and eventually scored the winning run for I'd Kick That. Final score, 2-1.

We Like Em Young and Suck My Kick took to field B. According to Suck My Kick, nothing happened in this game, except that Wesley pitched a no hitter. Suck My Kick won 1-0. Suck My kick is looking forward to next week's game against the Seminoles to determine who is the regular season champs. They expect the game to be "a one way ticket to pound town". Interpret that however you wish.

The last game of the night had the Seminoles take on Quit Yer Pitchin. The Seminoles did not look particularly sharp in this one, especially on the bases where they made several baserunning errors. Fortunately for them, Quit Yer Pitching was about as sharp as the back edge of a butter knife and made several bobbles in the field. The Seminoles won 5-1.
