Game Recaps

Scores ] [ Standings ]

Misfits (7) vs. 50 Shades of Panda (6)
In a rain shortened game Misfits came away with their league leading second win of the season. This win has doubled their total from last season. Is it the name change? Is it the tie-dye t-shirts? All I know is they're still rocking it on the field every game!


Bed Bath & Your Mom (3) vs. Jiminy Kickit (0)
In a close scoring game that was called in the 5th inning, the biggest event that got everyone's attention on both fields was the collision of Ricky and Brian. Fortunately no one was injured on the play! Cory was willing to give it all to finish the game, asking if he could voluntarily stay and play after the thunder and lightning.


It was wet. - Cory Pochop (Jiminy)
Gotta hand it to the Jiminy Kickit defense. Usually rain games are high scoring affairs but they held Your Mom in check. Cortney Calkins Edwards caught everything in her vicinity. BB&YM ladies got it done too. Liza Maula, Nicole Dewey, & Jen Cianciolo all got on base as our first 3 kickers & Leha Green kicked a run in. Mimi Hayden had a sick line drive too. - Will Menzies (Your Mom)

Guidelines ] [ Standings ]

The gauntlet was thrown down at Bucketheads as Cortney (Jiminy) proclaimed that the social competition was over because she had returned! Bravado or bluster? Find out below! Before I get into the point breakdowns I'll note that points can still be achieved by teams who had the late games that didn't get to play. They will of course have to earn those points on their makeup game day.
  • Two teams showed up with 5 or more players at the bar (Pandas and Jiminy), however no one had 10 players for the bonus points.
  • Four teams participated in the 20 Questions Bar game (Pandas, Jiminy, KR4K, and Your Mom) but only three (Jiminy, KR4K, Your Mom) were able to complete all the questions and they all tied as winners for the bar game. Isn't that day of the month birthday question a total pain?
  • The weekly theme saw Pandas, Jiminy, Misfits, and Your Mom get in on the action.

The rain didn't play well with the paint and
a camera was also sacrificed in the attempt
to get photographic evidence at the field.

  • The photo of the week category was Puns. Three teams enter, but only ONE leaves! Jiminy tried stacking the deck with multiple submissions and even tried to claim one picturing Your Mom. All was for naught as Jessica (Pandas) sacrificed her very health to bring you...

Winner
#50shadesofpanda #kickballfever
(Yes, she actually got sick after the rain game #ForTheTeam)


  • Field Manager Love was earned by Jiminy, Misfits, and KR4K.
  • Ref Love was earned by Misfits.
All said and done Jiminy Kickit did squeeze out a win with 20 points and they hold the overall lead with 38 points. However, Pandas closed the gap after a weaker opening week and look poised to challenge along with Your Mom.
