  Sweep the Leg

Still the Best

"Sweep the Leg" is once again our Wednesday night kickball champion following a great mix of offense and defense which led them to the title. In total they allowed just one run over their two playoff games, which was more than enough given their 14 runs scored.

The night started off with "Sweep the Leg" taking on "SuhKewwl" in our 1 vs 4 match-up. "Sweep the Leg" was just too much for newly promoted "SuhKewwl" and, thanks to a strong four-run first inning, were able to cruise to a victory.

Our second game of the bracket had three-time winner "Sir Kicks A Lot" in a battle with "Friendship to Friendship" to see who would meet "Sweep the Leg" in the championship. As we have come to expect, "Sir Kicks A Lot" took care of business to the tune of a 7-3 win.

With that we were set up for the championship we expected at the beginning of the year, with "Sir Kicks A Lot", who has won three straight titles taking on "Sweep the Leg", who has won the championship in every league they've played over the last few years.

The game started off with defense being the dominant force. Early on each team had a chance to plate a run, but clutch plays at home would negate both chances, keeping the game scoreless through three innings. In the top of the fourth inning that tie was broken thanks to some patient hitting and opportune base-running by "Sweep the Leg". They would follow that up with another run in the fifth and three more in the top of the sixth before "Sir Kicks A Lot" broke through with a run in a last-ditch effort. It was too little, too late though and the one run was all they could muster. When the game had ended, it was a 6-1 win for "Sweep the Leg".

Congrats to "Sweep the Leg" on another championship, in what turned out to be a convincing win versus a top-notch team. They continue to build their reputation as one of the best kickball teams to ever play with us!

Lean, Mean, Green Bean Machine

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!

How are Standings Calculated?
Winners receive 2 points, each team in a tie receives 1 point, and losers receive 0 points. If you forfeit, you lose a point, so don't forfeit! Plus, two forfeits make your team ineligible for playoffs.

Teams are ranked by (1) Ranking Points, (2) Head to Head Two Teams Only*, (3) Point Differential, (4) Coin Toss.

Head to Head is only used if there are two teams tied. Ties involving 3+ teams disregard H2H and move on to point differential for the tiebreaker.
º Forfeits
Parenthesized numbers indicate wins or losses by forfeit.
When calculating Ranking Points, forfeits may be weighted differently than normal wins and losses.
