Kickball Returns 2: the Remake

October 21: The Sequels took on the Remakes in a close game that ended with the Remakes catching up 6 runs to win in the bottom of the 9th (or probably the 4th or 5th). For the last play of the game with 2 outs, 2 to win and 2 on John made a daring magic base attempt after a strong kick by Katharine. With only 5 on 5 the open field allowed for a tremendous magic base action and a high scoring game. In fact almost every member of the Sequels made a magic base attempt. Shoes were lost, knees were scraped, outs were made but the risk, thrill and shine off the 'best magic base' plaque continued to draw players up the hill.

Afterwards sco-cones and heckling the WAKA games on the lower field were enjoyed by all.

Kickball Returns!!!

After a long summer vacation, beautiful fall weather has brought the return of kickball as we know it.

October 14th: Kickball Rocks! celebrated Katharine's birthday with a game of kickball in Piedmont Park. A temporary Magic Base was established at a tree up the hill. The team names have since been forgotten but a lot bunch of newbies were on one team and a bunch of old timers on another team. Ten on 10 or something close and there was also a large cheering section. Despite it being her birthday, Katharine's team lost. But it was a great game. Afterwards cake was enjoyed by all.
