The Smoking Aces completed a dramatic come-from-behind victory over Los Totally Awesome with a walk-off single on Wednesday.

A hit to right field by Jessica allowed Mike to score the game-winning run in the bottom of the fifth, giving the Aces the 4-3 victory at Alta Vista Park, in the game of the week.

And yes, I know this recap is late, but what is the worse that could happen?

LTA got an early 3-0 lead over the Aces in the top of the first with five solid kicks into open spaces. But after the first, the Aces were able to hold the Unicorns scoreless and they launched their own attack.

Javier and Mike scored in the second to cut LTA's lead to one, 3-2. Then in the fourth, Calvin came across to tie it up, 3-3.

LTA struggled to get hits as the bottom of their 16-kicker line-up slowed the momentum.

In the fourth, LTA had runners in scoring position, but a strike-out and foul-out allowed the Aces to hold the tie.

Close play at second

In the bottom of the fifth, Mike got a one-out single to get the rally going. A double by Cesar set up Jessica for the game winner.

The Aces improved to 2-0 while LTA is stuck at 0-2.

Earlier in the night, I'd Hit It walked away with a 4-2 victory over Suck My Kick, evening both records up at 1-1.

At Memorial, the New Kicks on the Block showed their defensive prowess and squeaked by the defending champion Kixx, 1-0.

Then Kickin N Screamin remained undefeated after a strong 8-2 victory over the winless Scoregasms. Interesting to note, Marco returned to catcher for KNS as Rick took the mound.

Photos are a little blurry. Working on fixing that.

Here is the easy breakdown:

Smoking Aces 4, LTA 3
I'd Hit It  4, Suck My Kick 2
NKOTB 1, Kixx 0
KNS 8, Scoregasms 2
