Here for the Cardio

First Place

Kickball - Wednesdays (Summer '22)

“Here for the Cardio” are the Downtown Kickball Champions of the Summer ‘22 season, after defeating “Runners Up” 4-2!

It was the playoffs for Downtown Kickball last night, and it did not disappoint! “Here for the Cardio” played “Runners Up” in the championship and it was a match to remember. These two heavy weights met during the regular season, and that game turned out to be an offensive explosion. Everyone thought we would get another offensive battle in the championship, but it turned out to be a low scoring nail-biter all the way through. “Here for the Cardio” struck first and scored two runs in the first and second inning. They took an early four run lead, but “Runners up” scored a run of their own in the bottom of the second inning and kept it competitive. Both teams battled each inning, always threatening but rarely scoring. “Runners Up” was able to score another run in the fifth inning and put pressure on “Here for the Cardio’s” defense, but “Here for the Cardio” was feeling it tonight! They made big plays on the defensive end when it counted, including some sliding catches and a catch off of a teammate's deflection. They closed out the 6th and the 7th inning in a 6-out swing and took home the championship!

Congratulations to “Here for the Cardio” on becoming the Tuesday Downtown Kickball Champions of the Summer ‘22 season and winner of the $50 to Streets Pub and Grub!
