In a championship game that featured the regular season's top two teams, #2 Reunion Tour pulled away from #1 Turn Your Head and Cough to win the 2011 Late Fall Indoor Kickball title 18-9.
Playoff night kicked off with the play-in matchup of #4 Balls to the Wall versus #5 The A-Team. Balls to the Wall (4-4) built a 19-6 lead after four innings but The A-Team (3-5) rallied with three runs in the fifth and eight more in the sixth before coming up short 19-17.
Kicks 'n' Giggles reclaimed the indoor kickball title last night with a 18-3 victory over defending champion Tipsy Tokens. Entering the final night of the regular season, there was a 3-team tie between Tipsy Tokens, New Kicks on the Block, and Team Rene for 2nd place in the standings and a berth in the championship game. Tipsy Tokens won their final game of the regular season, New Kicks ended in a hard fought tie game, and Team Rene fell to KnG; it was Tipsy Tokens who advanced to play Kicks 'n' Giggles, the 1st place team in the regular season standings.
Five teams were in range of the championship game going in to Monday night, but only one team could emerge on top with the crown. Tipsy Tokens secured their spot in the final and then confidently pulled ahead to defeat KickTease 20-13 to claim their $50 Pine Cove bar tab and bragging rights.
Kicks and Giggles mounted a sixth inning comeback in a close game against Blackout to win a second straight Indoor Kickball championship on Monday night. A favorite all season, the KnG squad only had one loss, a close one to Blackout, going into the playoffs. The team rallied in the last, also double damage, inning of the championship game to bring two runs across the plate and shut down the home team Blackout to take the championship, 9-6.
After finishing the regular season at 7-1, "Kicks and Giggles"were one of the favorites to win it all this season. They figured to have to match up against "Just the Tip", the other 7-1 team whom they had beaten by only three runs during the regular season. They didn't get the chance for an epic showdown.
Are you ready for another season of Sacramento's only Indoor Kickball league?
Indoor Kickball is a fast paced, high scoring game, played off the walls. There are three bases instead of four, and the scores usually range from 5 up to 35 runs per game! You can have two runners on each base, catch a ball thrown at you while you're running the bases, and get a home run by kicking it through a basketball hoop.
Never say never. "Team A", who never got around to choosing a name for themselves all season long, won three games out of 8 this season, and wound up winning the championship.
Apparently, the 4th time is the real charm. We Kick Balls, has a record 25-5-2 over the past four seasons, and has finished 2nd or first in the regular season in each of those seasons. They had failed to win the championship until knocking the monkey off their back last night!
