Week 3 GMoT - WAKA Kickball | Best Parties. Best Games. Best ...

With RB&V employing their new tactics of team defense, well placed kicks and solid base running, everyone knew RB&V
was ready to churn out another victory.
But out of nowhere, like a foul smell waft from a dumpster and into your nostrils, Drinkers with a Kickball Problem
released a series of well kicked balls that led to the worst first inning in their young season. After getting their third out,
and having runs scored on them, the dejected RB&V team returned to their sideline. And then it happened, something
clicked, as if simultaneously every single mind of every player replayed the epic speech given to them by their leader…
"… It's about how hard you can get kicked… and KEEP MOVING FORWARD!"
And that is exactly what the Red Balls & Vodka team did.
Kick after kick the team moved base runners into scoring position to reclaim some of the deficit they suffered early in
the game. But defense was again the word for the night, just as it has been for all season. Great team defense, and
smart heads up plays showed their head as David "The Glove" Fleck, Cynthia "No Drop" Gonzalez and Rob "don't kick to
me because I can catch everything, just watch and see" Read made outstanding plays in the field.
Then it was time, time for RB&V to use their skills honed from generations of kickballers past to rally and take the game
for their own. Two outs, last chance for RB&V to score and runners in scoring position, Sarah "boom stick" Gonzalez
rocketed a kick that would send Greg "Sir Speedy" Brinkley around the bases and land her safe with a stand-up triple.
RB&V had done it, they'd taken the lead from their opponents and just needed three more outs to seal the victory.
Defensive minds firing on all cylinders, it was a quick OUT #1, then shortly there after OUT #2, but a runner was on first
and his shoes were laced, ready to speed around to home base to score another run. Then, in the midst of the heated
action of the kickball fields, a strategy was presented by Rob "Peyton Manning of the outfield" Read , as he instructed
other players what needed to happen if a play were to come their way.
Bounce, Bounce…..KICK! The ball was flying through the air towards second base, a small area of the field that was not
heavily defended was exposed, but then, with the words of wisdom from Rob "I wear my sunglasses at night, so I can, so
I can…" Read ringing in her ears, Sarah "omg the ball is coming to me" Gonzalez scooped up the ball and with laser
beam precision, rifled the red ball directly to the sliding opponents head.
"YOUR OUT!!!" screamed the referee who happened to actually be paying attention and get a call correct.
Suddenly, thunderous chanting of hoots and hollers rose from the field, as RB&V circled their hero of the night and
proceeded to high-five (except Sammy, because he only low-fives) and congratulate her epic play. It was a not only a win,
but win the Red Balls & Vodka way.
… Or something like that happened, I was sick and on meds after having a couple of drinks so I was loopy and could
have just hallucinated all of that.
