Time to highlight some of the top players from WAKA VA Peninsula week 3. As always, make sure you submit your nominees to me every Thursday.

Let's start it right out with a trio of Ass Kickers. You can't pull out a victory over a talented team like Plan B without solid contributions up and down the line, but these three certainly stood out.

Manny Anderson, Catcher, Kick Ass - Anderson went 2 for 2 and used his incredible speed and aggressiveness to cross the plate twice.
Bryan "NoShoes" Moore, Charger, Kick Ass - Shoes matched Anderson going 2-2 as well with 2 runs scored and an RKI.
Brent Wentworth, P/1B, Kick Ass - From the clean up spot, Wentworth drove in 2 runs including the walk off double. (yeah, I nominated myself. No one should be surprised at this point)

Peter Switzer, Outfield, Battlestar - The line of the night, without a doubt goes to Peter Switzer from Battlestar. In the Ballsacks' 11-3 win over the Kickheads, Switzer was 3 for 3 with 2 solo home runs and a triple. That's only a 3.67 slugging percentage. Not a bad day at the office for Mr. Switzer.

Jason Wiezsek, 1B, Battlestar Unassisted triple plays are rarer than double rainbows. Wiezsek had one Wednesday night.

Bryan Freed, Outfield, JFK - The fundamentals. Bryan Freed is a master of them. In JFK's victory against PBJT, Freed went 2 for 2 and drove in a couple of runs.

Joe Preseault, Charger, Foul Balls - Although he was only able to play a couple innings, Preseault made an impact. Against Ballz Deep, he absolutely crushed a ball that landed so far it landed in the infield of field 2.

Meaghan Dorsey, 3B, New Kickheads - It wasn't just the guys showing their power last week. Meaghan Dorsey drove in a pair of runs with a triple kicked to deep left field against Battlestar.

Todd Gular, Charger, Kick in the Box - If none other than Geoff Morehart gives you a ringing endorsement as a 'nasty' charger, than you've earned a spot on the player of the week list. Gular dominated the DCOMB bunters and helped KiaB earn their first win in franchise history, 2-0.

Anthony Leevy, Catcher, Wrecking Balls - After Wednesday night, Leevy is 4 for 4 with 4 runs scored this season.
