Just Kicking It Surprises the Toe Jammers




Written by: Mark Couto

Just Kickin It vs. Toe jammers

Game one at Memorial Field provided an interesting matchup between Lone Star League champs Toe Jammers against Just Kicking It (JKI).  Fresh off a dramatic come from behind victory JKI kept that momentum going with an impressive 3-0 victory.

JKI quickly put up all three runs in the first inning with well placed kicks and alert base running.  Not to rain on the JKI parade but the Toe Jammers didn’t help their cause as mental and fielding errors, in particular, the Toe Jammers catcher quickly unraveled their composure.  The first inning miscues were a dropped pop out to center field, a missed peg out vs. the easy throw to first, and an ill advised throw to throw that allowed a run.

The Toe Jammers were unable to mount a scoring threat against JKI. As JKI limited the Toe Jammers to only 3 hits through 5 innings with solid pitching and fundamentally sound defense.  The victory placed JKI a top the Wreck League standings as they turn their sights to a week 3 matchup against Pitch, Please.

Sorry. I had already sent the article when I realized that the scores weren't all in.

Yeah, I agree the article is a little biased, but to say well placed kicks won the game and then say the runs were scored on errors, exactly not well placed kicks just alot of errors on the Toe Jammers side in one inning, once we got squared away JKI didn't score again or come close. Its obvious the Toe Jammers have some line up issues and aren't putting up the points but theres still the rest of the season and the playoffs....We came out of now where last year and maybe thats how we roll...BOOM!! 3-0 isn't stellar offense in the wreck division when teams are throwing double digits runs....
