Fat Kids Feast




In the first game of the summer softball season the Fat Kids picked up where they left off from the spring. A big win to start the season is exactly what was needed to shake off the added pressure that came from the spring playoffs. The bats were still hot and the defense was staunch once again as the Fat kids easily beat the Coyotes 17-7.

The scoring was lead by Super Freas, Caliente Carlos, and Kris “The Chode” Cannode all with in the park Home Runs. The most surprising being “The Chode’s” home run since he usually decides he has ran enough by the time he reaches second base. The Pink Helmet was worn for the first time by Super Freas after “striking out” in the championship game, it didn’t seem to faze him as he unnecessarily belly flop slide across home plate to start the scoring run in the first. Hollywood Bristow scored 5 times in the game despite going 0-4 at the plate, gotta love the pinch runner rule for “injured players”, this journalist believes The Siv is just lazy.

There wasn’t just great offense in this game there was a little defense displayed as well. El Sukador had a great throw to gun down a runner at 3rd and the Canadian made a great play on a deep fly ball to end an inning. The same batter an inning earlier drove a deep fly ball which was easily playable however Jimbo “Blackhawks Choked” Paliga seemed to not be paying attention to his GPS system in trying to track down the fly ball and the runner safely stopped at second for a 2 run double. “Not real sure what happened out there, guess that will teach me to No Show, No Call for the playoffs and Championship game, karma I guess” Blackhawks Choked was quoted after the game.

The game was ended on a walk off sacrifice fly by Super Freas to score Hollywood Bristow. Hollywood reached third as the previous batter by running through every stop sign and road block in front of him, stretching a routine single into a triple. The celebration began in the parking lot where El Sukador was caught getting “Iced” by being the first to reach into the cooler and pulled out a lukewarm Smirnoff Ice, bottoms up buddy.
