Pitch Don't Kick My Vibe

First Place

Kickball - Wednesdays (Late Summer '15)

Our Wednesday Midtown Kickball playoffs featured a pair of semi-final clashes that looked like toss ups on paper and the action on the field lived up to the hype.

The action got underway with the #1 seed "Pumped up Kicks" taking on the upset minded #4 seed, "The D". This was a close game from the outset and a couple key plays made the difference in the outcome as "Pumped up Kicks" survived a scare winning by a final of 4-3.

Meanwhile, in our second semi- final the #2 seed, "Pitch don't Kick my Vibe" and the #3 seed "Ball Busters" played a low scoring defensive battle. With runs at a premium the funky fresh team of "Pitch Don't Kick My Vibe" came up with the goods scoring two runs and holding their opponent scoreless en route to a 2-0 victory.




Pumped up Kicks started the championship game with two runs in the first inning thanks to a great kick by Neil. Team Pitch answered back with three runs of their own the next inning with some great kicks by Harley and Shannon. With the music pumping from Team Pitch's ice cooler jukebox, they scored another two runs thanks to a huge kick by Marty. Pumped up kicks were able to return a run next inning but eventually fell behind Team Pitch's overwhelming presence on the field. A couple over thrown plays at first put Team Pitches up ahead in the 7th inning by 8 to 4. Things got nervous for Team Pitch when in the last inning Taylor for Pumped up Kicks demolished the ball and ran for a home run. In the end though it wasn't enough and Team Pitch Don't Kick My Vibe put the finishing touches on their championship clinching victory 8 to 5.

Congratulations to Pitch Don't Kick My Vibe and to all of the teams that competed in a great Kickball season.
