Summer Northeast Co-ed Softcore Kickball Sunday at King School Park

Greg played both games almost exactly the same today during Shaggin Balls double header. Against two separate teams in back-to-back games Greg started off the first inning with a 3-run in the park home run! The home runs were impressive in itself but even more impressive was his determination and speed going around the bases. Both of those home runs (along with another later in the game) he rounded 3rd base just a few steps away from the runner in front of him. Luckily he didn't pass them along the base path but he did "encourage" them to get to home quick so he didn't catch up to them. Looks like teams will be playing a little deeper with Greg up to kick from here on out...way to go Greg!

Kevin is the most talkative person I've ever heard on a ball field. He was having a great day in the pouring down rain. He gave everything he had today including sliding on his knees in the outfield to make a catch. He must have slid 20 feet in the rain soaked outfield before popping up and throwing the ball back into his teammates. Kevin also had a great day at the plate and enjoyed a few more slides on the base paths during his at-kicks. Kevin helped The New Originals to a strong victory 16-9 over Shaggin Balls.

I mean, really. Through a game in excessively high temperature, you'd think most kickballers would start to feel a drain of energy throughout the course of a game. Not Marie! She took the opportunity to make the scorching sun her own personal light to shine in. Dancing and singing to all the jams from her sidelines. Marie, you're simply amazing.

Maren seemed to be everywhere today, and came up with one big catch after another in a tightly played contest. Just when it seemed like the other team would rally, Maren would track down the fly ball and end any chance of a comeback. Just an all around awe inspiring performance today for Maren
