The Proof is in the Pudding

Anyone can talk the talk but the true test is if you can walk the walk. After two weeks of playful smack talk and partying it up during Halloween, the Balls & Dolls and Shockers met on the k-ball diamond for the much anticipated Mountain Star Division Championship. Obviously it was billed to be one the best games of the season and in many ways it was.

The Bs & Ds came out confident and firing on all cylinders. The Shockers seemed to be taken back and a little bit surprised but were ready to duke it out with their favorite rivals. The Balls & Dolls quickly put three runs on the board in the top of the 1st but the mighty Shockers quickly struck back in the bottom of the 1st with three of their own. Although the game was close, the momentum seemed to be more with the Bs&Ds. However as I have said all season, the Shocks are ridiculously clutch, bottom line. If you let them hang around and don't put them away early, you will be in a world of hurt before the game is over. The Shockers were trialing by 1 run when the game reached the bottom of the 7th inning. Down to their last 3 outs they made the Balls & Dolls pay dearly. They brought in two runs to put them ahead and get them the win. The Balls & Dolls had a win in their grasp and had to helplessly watch as the Shockers said," Not in my house!"

The Shockers now have a chance at a second King of Kickball Championship, in back-2-back fashion. Could we be looking at the 1st Sun City Kickball Dynasty? Three Championships should do it......
