Battlestar Gets Sprung by Rumspringa

     Well, it's been 3 weeks since I've been able to do a write up due to all this frickin' rain! So I'm back and I thank both of my readers for patiently waiting up to this point. And with all these facts on world history in the coaches poll/ betting lines write ups and .gif's for the bar buzz, I feel the need to add a twist to the Ballsacks recap, so be prepared to be enlightened with curious animal facts. Hey, we all wanted to be Vets growing up, right? And since we are all a bunch of party animals anyway, we might as well learn more about our furry little friends. You have just entered the mind of a kickballer with a Vet Tech problem...

     Ok, GAME! Battlestar came up to kick first and managed to get a run in. Brandon Silver kicked a nice line drive to left center and allowed Mark Thompson to run in for the score. ( The fastest mammal in the world is the cheetah. It can run up to 62 miles per hour! Mark comes really close to that...)
Rumspringa did the same thing and got a run in to tie it 1-1.

A group of Ballsacks strategizing.  These guys move in packs.

 You'll never see them alone at Luckies.  They always have to be next to each other for safety reasons.

     The second inning showed a dominant Ballsack defense! (Dogs humping isn't always a sexual act. It's more a show of dominance. Females will even do it to other females establishing themselves as the alpha.) An awesome highlight play was made between Brandon at first base and Mark as catcher and Michael Machie as charger. With a runner on third, a bunt was kicked down the third base line. Mike grabbed it and threw for the out at first and Brandon threw it home to Mark where it was caught and the runner was tagged out. BOOM! Pitcher/Team captain, George Kiriazidis, pitched a foul out in this inning keeping the score at 1-1. He was HOT! (Speaking of hot, the normal body temperature of a cat or dog is between 100 and 102.5 degrees.)

This is the curious Kiriazidis known as "George". This specific Ballsack sweats profusely and smells like guacamole, but it's unknown as to why.  Maybe one day he can be captured for further study...

     Some of the ladies of Battlestar did pretty well on kicking. (All Calico cats are female.)  Alison Easterday  and Nicole Plesha both got on base to finish the game kicking 1.000! (The shear force of an ostrich's kick can kill a man.)
     The third inning kinda fell apart and the Ballsacks couldn't stop the bleeding. A controversial call was made when the runner was tagged out, but called safe and PFFFFTT! That was it...Because bright ass orange and a big red ball was there before blue, I can only assume that Danger made the call since dogs are color blind! (Love ya, Manny, but I hate your stupid dog...wink!) the next kick was a bunt down first. Joe Stumpo scooped it up and tagged the runner and tried to throw it to 3rd for the tag out, but the ball bounced short and kept going, so the runner advanced for the score. Rumspringa started place kicking and just broke out that inning.  A kick away to center field fell untouched and then a short high kick right behind second base was too shallow for Karen "Silent Killer" Savell to get under. The Ballsacks finally got a handle on things and started making outs. One interesting tip play was when a kick was popped up between short stop Tiffany Thompson and left center MVPeter Kuhr. Tiffany was backing up and tipped it with her hands and it landed right into MVPeter's bread basket! But before it was all over, the Rummers brought in 3 runs.
     The 5th inning was the Ballsacks' final chance at coming back.  Mark made it to second base and was waiting to get kicked in again.  Brandon came up again and laid down the bunt!  WHAT?!  Yep, Brandon was told to bunt, and bunt he did. They threw Brandon out at first and Mark ran right in as planned. It didn't go well after that.  That was the final score of the game.  Rumspringa wins 4-2. (Did someone say 4? Opossums are the only marsupial [mammal with a pouch] in North America.  When they have offspring, they always have 4. No more, no less.  And they are always either all male or all female. Why??  The female only releases one egg and when fertilized it splits into 4 making each of those 4 babies identical.)

This is a quick shot of Brandon actually bunting.  It was a rare and unusual thing for him to do, so cameras weren't at the ready to take this unique photo in time.  As you can see he is quite out of his element...

     So that's that!  Oh , wait....on our way out we were all met with "Jorts" Johnson making a very loud announcement in the parking lot that he was about to pee next to his car.  Such class!!! That's why I like this league.  Hey, when ya gotta go, ya gotta go.  Personally I think he was just marking his territory....DON'T TOUCH THE CAR OR HE'LL BITE!!!!!!!!!! It's all good, I'm well vaccinated for Rabies... ;)
