Playing like a freak
But he's natur(e)al
Pitching a near complete game on opening night, Doug was on his game. Striking out 4 kickers and making throws/outs to 1st. Adding kicks, hustling around the bases and having fun, "double d's" was a mad man. Nice game.

Its rare that someone who doesn't play and isn't old enough to remember Clinton wins the Player of the Week, but this week was this boys time to shine. I am sure that he plays kickball in his elementary school on a regular basis because there was noone better at cheering on his dad and his dad's team. From running on to the field during the sixth inning to high-fiving after the game there was no better sport even if he didn't play

Push the right 'Button'
He'll get loose/warm quick
Playing/covering first base on defense, Sebastian made it tough to get on. Making a diving catch in foul territory, for 1 of his 3 outs in the 1st inning.! Adding a base clearing triple, right on the line, hustling and having fun, it was a nice game. Keep it up y'all.

Sometimes its just too hot for kickball. That's what carlos told his ump and catcher on the way to the plate already 3 for 3 on the day. Fortunately I couldn't tell the heat made any difference. The most impressive part of his game by far was a line drive face catch that can only be described as wild. Fortunately he didn't get hurt, b/c he must have stretched out his face before the game.

Spreading it around
Keeping'em out
Making plays at first, catching throws and making the snag of the night(!), to get the runner at 1st. Playing goalie at the dugout, keeping the balls out, when sitting out. Antonieta was bunting, getting on base, hustling and having FUN. Nice game.

Stephen Greenwood
One Kick Wonders
Sometimes its not about how well you play, instead its about how hard you try and how much fun you have. The scene... 2 out and Steve catches a hot line drive to short stop for the third out. Even as everyone is congratulating him and his team is jogging off the field, his head was still in the game. He rifles the ball to third base. By this time the third basemen is already in the dugout. He threw a laser to an empty bag after the third out. That's points for style and effort.

Greta Gjeasvig
How far would you go.
Remember that old phrase "How far would you go for a Camel?" Well this week's player of the week Greta showed how far she would go to shag a foul ball. Forget over the river and through the woods. How about over the fence, across the street, fighting traffic at rush hour to get the foul ball she went. She was gone so long some of the players were sending text home to their babysitters to let them know they would be late. The ump updated his Facebook status, and several players grabbed a quick nap.
Greta came back to cheers from both teams. Now you would think that after that excursion, one would be tired. Well, maybe the average person, but not Greta. She chased down a pop fly the very next play and helped lead her team to victory.
Greta, thanks for the help, and thanks for being an Underdog!

Megan Small
I own 2nd base.
So before coming to Underdog I always thought men were the territorial ones. Wrong!!!! Anyone watching an Underdog game knows women who play for us show up the boys plenty.
Take for example our player of the week, Megan Small. She wasn't letting anyone near 1st. In fact the only run to get by was a homer. RBI's? Ha ha. Not in Megan's house. You'd have more luck getting my cat to decide to go inside or outside or inside...or outside in the first five minutes you hold the door open.
Megan you are a great player, got some fantastic spirit, and are one hell of an Underdog.

So it's bottom of the 8th, extra innings, score is tied, runners on base, with two outs. What do you do hotshot? Throw up? Beg for a pinch kicker? Cry?!
Well maybe us mere mortals, but not our player of the week, Haley Dulong. Instead she pulled something straight out of the movie Major League. Remember when Jake Taylor calls his shot to left field and then bunts instead (for those of you scratching your head, go rent this movie immediately). Well this was the opposite. Instead, when the short stop came up and the outfield moved in she drove it right through the gap. You could hear the catcher swear under his breath knowing they just got fooled. The winning run ran across the plate and Hayley beat the throw to first.
Congrats Hayley in getting your team to the next round and on being a stellar Underdog!
Our player of the week just so happens to be the captain of a team of great players. It was hard to choose a player of the week from a team that was full of people who played their hearts out to come back from a 5 run deficit against a team that has made a living off of last minute come backs all year. But come back they did, led by Dani in what was described by the packed bleachers as "One of the best kickball games ever."
Congrats Dani, on a great game, great season, and on being such a great Underdog! See you in the fall.
