Evan Amano

The Littlefoots

Despite the L, Evan was all over the place for the littlefoots! Embodying the littlefoot spirit he was happy to lucky for the entire game, both cheering on his own teammates good play but that of his opponent as well! Not to mention he also made a huge difference and was a big part of why his team was in the game with his stellar defense on the mound!

Jenni Sullivan

Misfits

After multiple seasons watching from the sidelines, Jenni jumped into action this season and seamlessly fit into the Misfits, getting on base, scoring runs, and holding down the field. Great job Jenni!

Sonya Kaidanov PoTW

Can I Kick It

Sonya has got the grooves, many moves up at the plate and one of the best attituves...throughout a back and forth game reminding us all why we’re out there, to have fun. The bar coupons might only be for game night only but can she kick it? Yes she can!

Daniel Keating-Wolk

The Littlefoots

Providing a ton of defensive plays, Daniel played the pitching position well all night long. Almost every single bunt directed towards the pitching position, Daniel fielded it and recorded an out. Daniel also proved to be effective kicking all throughout the game. His team voted him for POTG and I also felt he was deserving of POTW. Well done Daniel!

Hau does she do it?

float kids

We aren’t ever truly sure what to expect when Hau is up on the pitcher’s mound. Throughout the season, we’ve seen a lot of wild pitches, weird moments, and of course, great plays after great plays. Hau inspired her team when they needed it the most and calmed them down when things got hectic. Leadership from the mound and the third base coach’s box week after week showed why Hau became the heart of the team and one of its most important players. Needing her again, float kids looked to Hau for that extra motivation that led them to the title.

Kelsi Niece PoTW

CheeeHoooo

It didn’t take long for Kelsi to figure out a strategy and how she wanted to play. And that approach was dominant. With treacherous bunts and aggressive base running Kelsi was leading the charge for the squad for a stellar opening day win. CHEEhooo

Joy McClain

What a joyful evening it was

we've got the runs

It was simply a joy to watch Joy McClain play Wednesday night kickball this last week. It should have been pretty evident what we were in for before the game even started, but being able to experience such a phenomenon was truly a blessing. From taking a path that almost had her touching the outfield when she was just going from first to second to climbing the dugout fence all while laughing throughout the night, Joy allowed us to experience her joy first hand and it was something special. There are few people that just exude joy through their very existence and Underdog kickball is now lucky enough to have such a person play in its leagues.

Melisa Otrugman Shines

No one could represent Both Teams Played Hard any better

Both Teams Played Hard

All teams have their best players who are expected to perform at high levels and their coaches who are expected to lead them, but the best teams also have a player who is the heart and energy behind all they do and for Both Teams Played Hard, Melisa Otrugman is that player. Her solid play at second base doesn’t even come close to representing how important she is. It’s the close and intense games where teams start to tense up and hyper focus on doing everything right. That mindset can lead to some mistakes and that is precisely why a player like Melisa is so valuable. Her inherently lively energy and easygoing personality are the exact things that are needed to balance the atmosphere of a championship game and keep her teammates from getting to stressed out. In the end, it’s players like Melisa that make it all possible.

Lila Schreiber

Girthy Plays

Lila had an awesome day out on the field playing multiple positions with good hands and heads up play. Lila was also on point up to bat with a plethora of strategies to attack the ball. Well done!
