Week 1 Recap



Week 1 is in the books!  Let's take a look back and see how everybody did:


The first game of the new season pitted My Favorite Color Is Plaid against newcomers Aim For The Balls, have you seen these guys?  They're huge, they look like the Texas Longhorns (I don't mean the football team).  Not to be discouraged, MFCIP put their all hands team in the outfield and took to the field.  MFCIP had the upper hand with Aim For the Balls not being too familiar with Kickball strategy and took full advantage of it.  MFCIP wins this one 6-0, but we'll have to wait to see when they re-match.  For now, let's leave them with a good Scottish War Cry:


OUR FAVORITE COLOR IS PLAID!!!



Meanwhile on the other field, Going Balls Deep was putting it to Duh, Winning.  DW had their game faces on and came out ready to play.  They were able to score in the first inning, but GBD Jarrett countered in the lower half of the frame.  In the top of the 2nd they put up another run and then again in the 3rd & 4th.  In the bottom of the 3rd GBD tied up the score and was able to move ahead in the 4th.  With Jarrett scoring 3 times in this game, GBD wins this one 6-4.



Going Balls Deep faced off against the Kickball Sacks for the second game of their double-header.  The Kickball Sacks jumped out to an early lead putting up 3 in the first inning and adding a 4th in the second.  GBD Jarrett once again proving that he's just out to score, was able to put one up in the 1st inning and then again in a 5-run 2nd inning that had GBD kicking around the order.  After that, the Kickball Sacks just couldn't recover.  GBD wins their 2nd game of the night 9-5.


Huh, Winning?
Another double-header put our new-comer Aim For The Balls against last years dominent force Duh, Winning.  After their first loss, they came up with a new gameplan, field alignment and kicking order, things were going to go well for the rookies and they took a commanding lead with 2 runs in the 1st inning and another in the 3rd, all while holding DW scoreless.  Then, in the top of the 4th DW got on their game and scored 3 quick runs to tie the game, only to have AFTB pick up another one in the bottom of the frame.  AFTB was able to hold on to the lead in the 5th and stun DW with a 4-3 victory.
