Week 2 Recap: Walk-off!

The celebration ensues after a walk-off 3-2 win for Blue on Wednesday night.










Well, our second game was truly a wild ride of comebacks, blown leads and more comebacks but it ended the right way: a win (which we all know is what kickball is all about).

The rain has the book a little soaked, but here are some highlights I can remember/decipher:

Our first play on defense we had a small collision, but Lindsay still got a sick out. The Brew Crew did still score a run in the first, but the defense settled in from there included three (maybe more outfield assists from Jared!). Unfortunately, the offense could not get going, as we did not even get a hit until Jared led off the third inning with a single.

The fourth inning though was a blue break through! Allie and Andrew got back-to-back hits then Becca moved them over to second and third to set up a great bunt by Angie which had them so flustered they made a throwing error and we took a 2-1 lead.

After even more sick lockdown defense we took our lead into the seventh, but they managed to plate a run for a tie.

That was no trouble though because we had the hammer (esoteric baseball turn for "last-ups")!

Becca had a sick kick over their guys trying to play the bunt, then moved from first to third on Angie's gem. That set up a sac fly chance for Chad, but he just drilled it through the left side of the infield for the game winner!

After that the whole team went to Don't Know and watched the Orioles beat the Red Sox! Hooray!
