BALL SO HARD GETS BALLED SO HARD
Bryn Mawr, MN - Following team introductions, the National Anthem, and the F-14 flyer over, Ball so Hard was acquainted with their first kickball match up of the 2013 season on Thursday evening vs. the defending Wednesday evening Champion Bunt Pirates. After a hard fought rock, paper scissors battle between team captains, Ball so Hard acquired home field advantage and took the field with confidence. The Bunt Pirates took an early 10-0 lead in the top of the first fueled by many bunting pirates and booming kicking of balls over the shallow Ball so Hard outfield. The match up remained a stalemate at that tally until the 3rd inning when the Pirates tacked on another to push the lead to 11-0. The 5th inning proved to be magical for Ball so Hard when El Captain, Phil led off with a single, slid into 2nd on a Cory single, and scored on an Abby single for the first score of the 2013 season. Johnson and Abby crossed the plate on a Brad kick to outfieldish. Lauren advanced Thomas to 2nd on a sacrifice grounder to first. Adam pushed Thomas to 3rd on a double to somewhere according to the scorebook. Ali brought in both ducks on the pond with a strong kick to left center to push the inning total to five. Jason, late season free agent signing, kicked a high pop out to end the run. The Pirates tacked on another in the 6th to complete their first step in repeating as champions with a final score of 12-5.
