CO Mile High Week 3 Recaps

The Peep Show
The Peeps came out a little shaky in the first inning allowing the first two runners on but coming back strong with three straight outs to strand the runners. After that it was smooth sailing. Fast base running, long kicks, and amazing placement allowed the Peeps to score 5 in the first inning. From there it was textbook playing. No ESPN top 10 plays this week, just by the book defense and offense that allowed the Peeps to roll to a 10-2 victory. The one scar on the night was a homerun given up by some less than perfect pitching by the teams captain, asian mark, followed later by two walks given rise to Peep on Peep Chirping abuse that was quickly quieted by mass amounts of alcohol consumption. Overall an epic Peep Week. Chirp Chirp!

Ballzagna
The disappointing team loss this week, doesn’t stop Ballzagna from loving the kickball game and the WAKA league.

As Captains, Andrew and I were impressed with the fact that the majority of our team were able to show up and play flip cup before the 8 o'clock kickball game on Wednesday. Unfortunately, this was unlike most of the other teams, and we had no opponents… Our assumption was that this league took flip cup seriously, guess not!

When it came to the actual kickball game, our team looks better and better each week. This week we have a real sense of unity, and each player has begun to stand out as they learn their position. Due to injuries and a couple absent people this week we only had 2 subs. Jamie (who received a leg injury in week #2 and was not able to play this week) showed up to cheer on the team and play base couch, this just one example of how seriously Ballzagna takes kickball.

When it came to defense very few long kicks were not caught by our outfield. Ryan, Allison, and Paige all stood out with a couple amazing catches, but Josue looked like a Titan amongst men, as he caught ever ball that came within 30 feet of him. Josue was definitely week #3 MVP and saved our offense, he had a couple huge kicks that allowed us to get multiple players home :) I have no doubt that with some practice, our team will be a serious contender in the playoffs!

All in all, we have a dedicated kickball team! Everyone wants to do what they can to win and have fun : ) None of us can wait for next week's game!!

Truffle Shuffle 
It's almost not even fair for the other teams because we have The Warhawk, Nicolette Jones. This might not be accurate, but I'm pretty sure she scored at least 11 of our runs single-handedly and then found a cure for SARS. All in a night's work for The Warhawk. Additional props go out to Forrest Mears for filling in at captain while Spanny was getting treated for hemorrhoids. 

Flipadelphia!
