Field A apparently saw a highly contested match between Don't Touch Our Balls and Also Available in Sober. From what I heard there was quite a bit of accusation that Don't Touch Our Balls were attempting to man bunt. I don't know, I didn't see it but the way we defined it in the Captains' meeting before the season was that man bunting was illegal and was defined by the intent to deaden the ball instead of kicking it away and that you had to have follow through to your kick. There was no distance that had to be traveled for it to be considered a bunt. Like I said, I didn't see any of the supposed bunts but I will say that whether they were or weren't bunts, its hard to win when your team doesn't score. Don't Touch Our Balls won 3-0.
Balls N Dolls showed once again that they are a force to be recognized in the division this season as they put a whooping on Id Hit It Again. This was Balls N Dolls 4th shut out of the season and are just slightly behind Don't Touch Our Balls in runs against on the season. Balls N Dolls have given up 15 runs this season and unfortunately for them 7 of them were in one game. That was their only blemish on the season as they lost to the Seminoles. Anyways, this week they destroyed Id Hit It Again 7-0.
To the left you see an actual picture taken from above the PAL fields this week. That's right, its a flying pig. Rumor has it that Hitler was cold too. That's because the BA-52's beat Smack My Pitch up. That's right folks, the BA-52's beat Smack My Pitch Up. The Crazy Crowd had only 9 players show up but they didn't let that get them down and put up a 3 spot in the first inning and continued to find ways to score throughout the game. Most of the SMPU players fought hard to climb back. I say most because SMPU 3rd baseman, Kevin, had made it his mission this week to get into the Guinness book of world records for having the most throwing errors in a kickball game. Oh yeah and when the SMPU crowd was down by a run in the last inning with bases loaded and 2 outs, who was it who popped up for the final out of the game? That would be Kevin. BA-52s won 5-4.Anything But Blue balls is not only one of the most fun teams in the division but in the second half of the season they are slowly turning into one of the best teams too. They continued to build on their newfound awesomeness this week. Saved By The Ball were hoping to be saved by the bell but the light blue squad was merciless and won 8-1.
All Banged Up and Suck My Kick played in a game that was a little tough to follow in the shadows with black going against navy. This game ended up being one of the most highly contested games of the season and for a long time the game was tied 1-1. The winning run was scored by an extremely impressive head first dive at home plate as the All Banked up player just barely beat the ball. Remember when All Banged Up couldn't score to save their life? Yeah I don't either anymore as their offense is now statistically better than 3 other teams. All Banged Up won 2-1.
Ok so I know I have talked about a couple of tight and intense games this week but really there was only one. Quit Yer Pitchin and the Seminoles. This game was packed with lots of trash talking and insults (basically just what you would expect in a game between these 2 teams. With a tight 2-2 game in the bottom of the 5th the Quit Yer Pitchin squad had a runner on 3rd and less than two outs. There wasn't an awful lot that the Seminoles could have done at that point as everyone expected a tag up play on a deep pop-up. That's exactly what happened and Quit Yer Pitchin walked off the field as victors, 3-2.
