In a defensive showdown on field D, Kicktease won in a close battle against Team Fabulous. At first we thought Team Fabulous was not showing as they only had like 5 players 10 minutes before the first pitch. In the end, Team Fabulous and all the flashiness on their shirts came out in full force.
Kicktease got off to a fast start in the bottom of the first inning going up 1-0 when Virgil scored after singling and then going to third on a short kick. That was all the scoring until the top of the fifth when Team Fabulous finally put a run on the board to tie the score. Not realizing that Kicktease was the home team, Team Fab scoured to find Ty to see if we can go to extra innings if tied after 5 innings. After Virgil got on first on a fielder's choice, the unsung hero of the game, Erin, kicked it short again to try to get Virgil over to third. Luckily, they made a bad throw to first (I think as I didn't pay attention) and Erin made it to second.
This sets up the game winning kick with runners on second and third with one out. Of course it just so happened that the captain Jeanette was up. She kicked a blooper that just went off the outstretched fingertips of the first basemen after pausing for a few minutes to stop her knees from shaking because she was so excited.
Final score 2-1 and the first ever win for expansion team Kicktease. All in all, it was a great game and Team Fabulous were, as always, a fun team to play. Next up is the team that no one hears coming because they are so quiet, Pick Me Up. Hopefully Kicktease don't have a big letdown after their big victory this week.
