Sofa Kings 9 vs. Where My Pitches At? 6

Sofa Kings 9 vs. Where My Pitches At? 6
Yet another Sofa King match-up with some pre-game trash talk. Bob Spring with his near broken but still working wrist belted a loooooong 2 run homerun to put the Sofa Kings up.
Jayme Fields would have added to the lead if Marshall wasn’t 10 feet tall. Pitches mounted a comeback to tie the game using small ball. Staples got things started with what quite possibly may have been the worst kick in all of kickball not just DSL history.
Consecutive singles by Jim Marshall, Bridget Garvin and Carrie Wolf continued the rally. In their next at bat, Sofa Kings went up for good on a perfectly place ball down the third base line off the foot of Erin Ott. JC Hughes added to the lead with a triple. But his shout out doesn’t stop there.
He didn’t screw up in left field and made a phenomenal catch to end the end an inning and save at least one run. Debbi had a horrendous night offensively including a foul out but she made up for her lackluster batting performance with a STELLAR night defensively at first base! Sofa Kings would like to thank The Hershey Company and the distributers of Twizzlers as the two pre-game bags appeared to have stepped their game to the next level.

Sofa Kings take the first game of the season

Sofa Kings 17 vs. 16 Ton Gunz 11

After a two week hiatus, Sofa Kings were ready for some kickball. They had the cutest cheering section as Debbi’s nephews Benjamin and Gannon came to root on their favorite aunt. Fresh of ankle surgery, Beth Hayes hobbled to the Riverfront to manage the rowdy squad. Captain Chris Connelly, Bob Spring and Jessica Kraszewski didn’t disappoint as they each connected for homeruns. Bob’s first shot almost landed on MLK Blvd. He was pretty impressive defensively as well. He displayed a move where he just about impregnated Kelly Toton at second base. Then there was Pat Burris who made an amazing attempt to haul in a shot at short stop. He jumped an astounding 2 inches off the ground.

Down big early, 16 Ton Gunz mounted a late game come back. They were led by Ryan Troutman who is picking up the reigns from former captain Gary Castelow. Troy Thomas proved his kicking leg is just as strong as his dodgeball arm. Man can that kid fly around the bases too! Tim Frick looked like Chris Brown with a nice slide into second base. Michelle ‘The Future Mrs. Captain’ Peto was stellar defensively but their come back came up just short.

Sofa King tonight up with Kickball!

Kickball ’09 Starts Tonight!

CitizenConnelly — Tue, 12 May 2009 21:01:23 +0000

I’m excited for the start of DSL Kickball 2009. Many of our guys are coming back, some bring additions, others bring themselves and hopefully a decent leg.

A year ago we weren’t a team, in fact many of us played for Washington Street Ale House. Some played for other teams, others didn’t play at all.
But, over the past year we’ve grown in to a solidified family…an actual crew. A medley of individuals that make up something wonderful.

Here’s to the start of another great season, another fun spring with the family.
