Who: Sons of Pitches vs. Tight Ash
Where: Sahlen Stadium Field #2
When: Thursday, August 14th 7:15
Sons of Pitches
Team Captain: Gerry
Team Sponsor: JD Oxford's
Captain's Pre-Game Strategy: "We're feeling good tonight. Our strategy is to kick the ball, catch the ball, run...ya know, your basic strategies."
Tight Ash
Team Captains: Kari & The Reverend Brian Richard Lawler I
Team Sponsor: Colter's
Captain's Pre-Game Strategy: "We like to get together as a group at Colter's, and then we have a couple of team cocktails, and what we do is go ahead and come up with a game plan, which mostly consists of 'come on let's go out and try and win'. Every once in awhile it works out."
It was cloudy and unseasonably warm (for polar bears) when the Sons of Pitches took the field on Thursday night to take on Tight Ash. 24oz Molson Canadians and Coors Lights were in full effect as both teams collected their star players and line-ups during the sweet vocal stylings of Nicki Minaj.
The game showed promise right from the beginning as the first kick of the inning was a straight blast to a greasy fingered 2nd baseman, leading to a Tight Ash runner landing safely on first. Unfortunately, Tight Ash's kicking steam quickly fell flat as their next 2 players were ousted in consecutive plays and their base runner made a "damn I might be cut from the team moment" by leading too far off of first.
Next, it was Sons of Pitches turn to stuff balls in Tight Ash's face and round the bases. Coincidentally, the first kick of the bottom of the first was also the first out of the bottom of the first. It was a rocket to third that was bobbled and caught in a most uncoordinated, yet successful fielding fashion. In their first inning up, Sons of Pitches didn't make it past second base...which ironically is how most of their dates end up.
During the top of the third, Tight Ash went down 1-2-3, with team captain, Reverend Brian Richard Lawler I, starting off the disaster domino effect by kicking right into the chest of the Sons of Pitches short stop. However, being the bunch of copy cats that they are, Tight Ash swiftly returned the favor to their "luck of the Irish" rivals by making 3 outs in 3 plays as well.
The bottom of the fourth heated up when Sons of Pitches kicker, Adam, drilled a power line right to the pitcher that was dropped, allowing him to easily make it on to first. As his testosterone surged and his cockiness reached an all-time high, Adam pressed on, trying to squeeze a double out of what was clearly an obvious single. He was brought back to the shit show when he was gunned down in cold blood while attempting to slide into second. Charges are still pending.
As the innings rolled on, and the likes of Sir Mix-A-Lot and J.T. echoed throughout Sahlen Stadium, both teams suffered their share of foul balls and scoreless innings. The embarrassing shags were most likely due to frozen block feet syndrome, as the temperature in downtown Rochester fell rapidly and the rain commenced. The scoreless innings however, were most likely due to the 24oz'ers.
The fifth and sixth innings showed the same scene, quick easy outs with no runner making it beyond second base. There were a few kicks that got the blood of the crowd pumping...but they were immediately followed by an "uuuuuuggggggghhhhhh" sounded in perfect unison.
With Tight Ash putting their feet on the balls in the seventh, they placed a runner on first with one out. Just as the inning was looking up, their base runner got ball blasted rounding her way to second. Another out soon after was imminent.
Sons of Pitches pumped up their Nike's for the last kicks of the game. A ball shot into center landed a base runner on first to lead off the bottom of the seventh. Back to back successful kicks moved their runner to second with no outs on the board. As the inning drew to a close, Sons of Pitches booted a power kick to shallow left, where Moe, Larry, and Curly all attempted a play on the ball with a disastrous outcome. By the time the Stooges remembered what game they were playing and found the ball...it was too late. Sons of Pitches had brought it home and stuck it to Tight Ash with a glowing 1-0 victory.
In must be noted that throughout the entire game, the Tight Ash girls and the Sons of Pitches bitches dominated in the field, catching any ball (no matter the size) shot their way. It was an overall stellar performance by the ladies of NACKA Kickball.
