Purple Reign

First Place

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

'Purple Reign' pulled off a fantastic victory last night to take the Midtown Division championship with a thrilling 2-1 victory.

'Purple Reign' came into the playoffs as the 3rd seed while their opponents, the fourth seeded 'New Kicks on the Block', pulled off a 3-0 upset of #1 ranked 'Kickelob Ultras' to get into the championship.

In their first game of the night 'Purple Reign' defeated 'Ball Me Maybe', a team they had lost to earlier in the season by the score of 5-4. Despite that previous score line weighing on their shoulders, 'Purple Reign' was able to crank up the defense and win 3-1 to set up a championship game made up of two underdogs.

The game got off to a fast start with both 'New Kicks on the Block' and 'Purple Reign' scoring in the first inning, but after that it became a pitcher's duel. Neither side would concede a run for the next few innings and rarely would a runner even get into scoring position. There were also plenty of web-gem worthy plays from both sides as neither wanted to concede the next run and have to climb out of a hole.

Finally, in what would become the last inning of the night, a breakthrough came.

With a runner in scoring position and 1 out 'Purple Reign' got a kick down the left field line. 'New Kicks on the Block' made it close with a great throw to home, but in the end it was a walk-off base hit that sealed the deal for 'Purple Reign' who now reign supreme over the Midtown Division.
