With another season of VA Peninsula Kickball in the books, it's time to announce the results of your tapping, clicking, scrolling, and typing. Welcome to the Fall 2016 edition of the postseason All-Peninsula awards. First up, the Tortolini Realty Conference Second Team.
Pitcher - Rusty Wallace (Rumspringa)(20 first place votes out of 109 ballots)
Rusty jumped right into the starting pitcher role and continued the tradition of Rumspringa pitching excellence.

Catcher - Jeremy Smithey (Hot Dogs & Tacos)(15)
Once again, Jeremy did a little bit of everything for the league this past season (Thank you!). But did the voters punish the HD&T captain for another early tournament exit?
Charger - David Tortolini (Bad News B E E R S)(20)
With a second impressive tournament run in just their second season of existence, the Bad News B E E R S can no longer be ignored. The team may have fallen one win short of hoisting the trophy, but this stud charger still found a way to get his name on it.
First Baseman - Jason Finkel (Rumspringa)(10)
Every great infield needs a reliable first baseman to take them to the top. Rumspringa's championship run verified in the minds of the voters that Jason belongs in the conversation of the best in the league.
Clearly Michael made a strong impression in the minds of the voters. Even after abandoning us in the middle of the season, the voters loved his time here enough to reward him with a spot on this list.
Outfielder - Liz Tortolini (Bad News B E E R S)(11)
Regardless of the reasons why Liz received votes in this category, she possesses incredible talent on both sides of the ball.
Utility - Keith Morehart (Bad News B E E R S)(17)
With an impressively deep list of Utility nominees, Keith was unable to repeat his appearance on First Team, but the voters could not ignore his talent and his team's success.
Sarah followed up her recognition as the best female rookie in the spring with another strong season which has embedded her in the deep list of incredibly talented females in the area.
Female - Angie Weatherhead (Rumspringa)(4)
Speaking of depth, Rumspringa has proven year after year that the depth and consistency of their females is second to none. Angie took on every challenge in her way this season and crushed them all.
Female - Christy Remus (Forcing Third Base)(5)
Much like Sarah, Christy has had a strong first two seasons. However, playing for a brand new team in the spring meant having a tough battle to earn recognition. Forcing Third Base is clearly here to stay and now it's just a question of how high Christy and her team can rise.
Devin has the knowledge, confidence, and ability to succeed. If she continues to execute, the voters will have no choice other than to reward her with higher and higher postseason ranks.
Stay tuned for the announcement of the Tortolini Realty Conference First Team.
