Green Beans

First Place

Kickball - Wednesdays (Fall '16)

The "Green Beans" are our top team this season in the Midtown Division, finishing out the year with a title to their name and ending with an undefeated 10-0 record! They were by far the best all-around team, finishing with a fantastic +47 run differential, more than double any other team.

From beginning to end it was a great season for "Green Beans", who started with a 10-0 win in their first game, which turned out to be an odd bit of foreshadowing. Entering the playoffs they were no doubt the team to beat, but that didn't mean things would come easy, as we saw in their nail-biting 3-2 championship win.

They kicked things off with a strong 10-4 win over "We Put the FU in Fun" in an offensive explosion, serving as a great warm-up for what was to come. In the other half of the bracket their championship game opponent, "Puka Shell Posse", showed some great clutch defense in their 2-1 semifinals win, closing things out in the final inning as "NELP" had a runner in scoring position in their last at bat. With that level of late-game execution, "Green Beans" would have their hands full.

And that they did, pulling out a close 3-2 win despite defeating them in a 10-3 blow out earlier this season. The "Puka Shell Posse" came to play this time, but even their best was enough to beat the best of the best. For "Green Beans", it was once again their great defense, coupled with a few timely runs, that carried them to victory.

Congrats to "Green Beans" for a perfect season, and we hope to see them back next season to defend their championship!
