Kickball Fans Make the Difference

If crowd noise is any indication of how great a game is, then it is safe to say one of the best games of the season was played during Round 1 of the playoffs between the #3 Los Totally Awesomes and #4 Balls & Dolls. The fans were out in force Wed. night. Noise makers, cheering, and yelling; they brought it all. However according to a Sun City Kickball Player Poll, LTA was picked to win in all. Although it seems the fans have their own favorite team in the Balls & Dolls.

The 8-3 final score does not depict how close this game really was. LTA drew first blood with 2 runs in the 1st inning. In addition they shut out the Bs & Ds for the first two innings. However once the Bs & Ds warmed up they took off like a rocket. They blasted LTA with 4 runs in the 3rd inning and then 2 more in the 4th inning. This gave the Bs & Ds a 6-3 advantage heading into the 5th. LTA would try to muster a rally but unfortunately the Bs & Ds mid-game offensive bombardment would be too much to come back from. Picked to go far and hoping to win it all LTA fell short but the team still seemed in high spirits. Especially when they tried to get in one the Balls & Dolls game winning team portrait. Hilarious!
