Chuggers and Sluggers

First Place

Kickball - Tuesdays (Late Spring '21)

“Chuggers and Sluggers” are the Kickball Champions of the Late Spring 21’ Season, after defeating “Kicking and Screaming” 9-8!

“Chuggers and Sluggers” came into the playoffs feeling ready and determined to conquer the night and take home the Championship. But “Pitches be Crazy” had different ideas for the first game. “Pitches be Crazy” jumped out to an early lead by just a couple runs and looked like they were going to control the game. “Chuggers and Sluggers” stayed within one run up until the 5th inning when they jumped ahead with some clutch line drives to bring in enough runs to win the game. With the win, they advanced to the Finals to face a very strong “Kicking and Screaming” team.

The final was an absolute stunner! Kicking and Screaming jumped out early with 3 runs, then tacked on a few more to build a 4 run lead with the score 8-4. They had some aggressive base-running that was too hard to defend. However, “Chuggers and Sluggers” played some incredible small ball! They chipped away little by little and got the lead down to one run heading into the bottom of the final inning. Then with two outs and two runners on, they popped a ball up to first, but it was dropped which allowed the tying run to score from second. On the same play the throw home was dropped and that allowed the winning run to score. Giving the “Chuggers and Sluggers” the walk-off 9-8 win!

Congratulations to “Chuggers and Sluggers” on becoming the Kickball Champions and winners of $50 to Streets Pub and Grub! We look forward to seeing if they can go back-to-back champions next season!
