Notes

First Place

Spring NE PDX Co-ed Kickball Sunday Afternoons at King School Park

The Kankles obviously had something to prove on this night. In their first game of the double-header they put up an impressive 21 runs, their highest run total of the season, on a team they lost to the final week of the regular season. Phill Ritmanis led the way with a solo home run to start the game...but he didn't stop there. An impressive feat of three home runs during the game Phill showed his team that he was there to win.
During the second game (Championship game) the team rallied around their captain, Jason Breaux, and showed him that although he'll be moving to Denmark shortly, he'll be missed as a leader and a grand championship farewell they offered.
The road to success wasn't easy for The Kankles though! In their first game they knew they'd have a challenge from The Orange considering they had lost to them just a few weeks ago. The Orange showed up to play and did well for the first half of the game even leading at a few points but towards the end they just weren't able to pull off a repeat in the soaring heat today.
The Blockheads and Drunk Again & Looking to Score faced off in other semi-final action with The Blockheads jumping out to a huge lead by as many as 14 runs at one point. Drunk Again & Looking to Score wasn't fazed though. They had a massive and impressive last 3 innings and after scoring in the bottom of the 7th they had the bases loaded with two outs down by just one run. The Blockheads were on their heals but a Sportscenter worthy highlight ended the game. A line drive went towards third base and just off the fingertips of the 3rd baseman. Fortunately for Drunk Again that deflection did just enough to direct the ball straight to the left fielder who made the catch to end the game.
All in all it was a wonderful season with some very entertaining and spirited teams. A season to remember.

POTW: Jason Breaux

The Kankles

Jason's leadership and team vision this year helped his team win the championship not just for themselves but for a farewell for Jason himself. As I learned today that Jason would be leaving for Denmark for an undisclosed amount of time, he displayed his pride around his neck. Literally. A flag draped around him he wanted nothing more on this day to win the championship and that he did! Did I hear something about kickball for Denmark's national team whispered through the air?

POTW: Molly Matson

The Kankles

Molly showed her team why she's one of the premier middle infielders in Underdog today. Throughout the game she showed her solid hands catching the ball but it was an attempted double play that really made her stand out today! During a routine ground ball with a runner at 1st Molly headed to 2nd base to cover. When the ball arrived not only did she make a fine catch and tagged the base but she also swiveled and attempted to turn the double play by firing it down to first base. Although the runner was just a bit too fast heading to 1st it was still one of the most impressive attempts I've seen all year. Molly brought her Underdog A game today, congrats!
