Kickball - Wednesdays (Fall '15) - Presented by Miller Lite

'Fireballz" had a great run to a championship last night winning their two games by just one run each.

Their first game of the night against 'Resus' saw 'Fireballz' take an early 1-0 lead, getting them off on the right foot. They would add two more runs to push their lead to 3-0, leaving 'Resus' in a bit of a hole.

But, 'Resus' would not go down without a fight and were able to muster two runs in the final inning. It still wasn't enough, however, as a great catch in the outfield by 'Fireballz' helped seal the deal.

In the championship game 'Fireballz' faced off against 'The D'.

The game started off with a bang as both teams scored in the first inning while trying to impose their will on the game, though it was 'The D' who held a 2-1 lead heading into the second inning.

In the second inning 'Fireballz' added two more runs to take their first lead of the game, 3-2. However, 'The D' answered right back in the 3rd inning with a run of their own to tie the game at 3 apiece.

Things stayed tight and it set us up for a thrilling finish in the final inning as 'The D' stepped up to the plate in the top of the inning down 4-3.

'The D' refused to go down easily and got runners on the bases to put the pressure on the 'Fireballz' defense. Then, a perfectly executed bunt eventually saw their runner on 2nd base score to tie the game at 4-4.

In the bottom of the inning 'Fireballz' remained calm and confident in their ability. Eventually they would load the bases.

With two outs there was a grounder kicked to the first baseman for 'The D' who had a tough decision, but ultimately decided to throw home to get the force out. His throw was not perfect and it made it hard for his catcher to make a clean catch just as the runner from 3rd base came flying in to touch home for 'Fireballz' ending the game in walk-off fashion to cap off a fantastic season for them.
