#WAKAWednesday - Week 2 Recap

What week are we talking about, Matt? 

In the immortal words of Matt Wellbrock, "It's all about that pie, baby." I don't know what that really means, but it's provocative and I couldn't think of a better way to start the week 2 blog. Let's jump right into it!

RUMSPRINGA 16, PUMPED UP KICKS 1

The big legs up and down the Rumspringa lineup put stress on the inexperienced Pumped Up Kicks outfield. Felipe Cornejo, Daniel Shaw, and Matt Wellbrock all went yard in the romp. There were some highlights for the Kicks though, including this great effort by the pitcher (name?) to peg a 'Springa runner up the line. The charger also made some good plays including snagging a hard liner late in the game.

F3B 8, BOOS ON FIRST 2

Boos on First came into this contest riding high after tying the defending champs in the opener but fell a little flat. F3B's offense exploded for 8 runs and took advantage of a few defensive miscues to earn a big early dub. 

RUMSPRINGA 3, F3B 0

Daniel Shaw showed why he is the best hurler in the game by shutting down the high powered F3B offense, striking out 2 kickers. Cornejo and Daniel Waff drove in a run each in the 2nd to give 'Springa all the runs they'd need in the contest. 

The defensive showdown was streamed live on Facebook for those who want to watch on demand.

PBJT 13, PUMPED UP KICKS 1

A rematch from last week, with pretty much the same results as the score ended up being 13-1 in both contests. PUK's Brian Hetland gave PBJT a shout out inside the Facebook group for being great sports and sticking around after the game to share some tips and play a fun scrimmage. He also apologized for 'being too vocal' citing 'too much pregame beer'.




Only 1 team in CLUBWAKA Wednesday Night Kickball has finished a season undefeated and won the Wentworth Trophy­­­® and that was The Emperors Club back in the Fall of 2009. With F3B's loss tonight, the members of that team popped the champagne and celebrated their record once again staying intact.

Another great turnout at B-Dubs with the Caps/Hurricanes game 7 on. The service was much better as they learned some valuable lessons from week 1. The pitchers were flowing wonderfully!

If you joined us this weekend for WAKAPALOOZA NORFOLK you saw first hand how much fun a single day kickball tournament can be. Our next charity kickball is right around the corner, so you won't want to miss it. We're taking the game to the beach with a CHARITY SAND KICKBALL TOURNAMENT to benefit the Sentara Foundation. Because we're playing on the beach, we'll be using a bigger ball, shorter base paths and dropping the fielders to 8 (4 male & 4 females). This is part of the North American Sand Soccer Weekend, so the Oceanfront is going to be the place to be!

*BREAKING NEWS* F3B has got their sunscreen ready and is the first team to begin forming! Who else is going to the Bash at the Beach??
