Knights of the Fat Table Successful in Battle



Gather around and I will tell you a tale about a team of Fat Kiddos and their epic battle against Team Socko. This has been a long standing fight with the competition known as Socko. If you remember in the spring each team traded wins with Socko with Socko coming out on top and taking the trophy. Many more battles were had throughout the summer on the fields at Cornerstone. Again on this night the Fat Kids were victorious winning in the end after a seesaw battle 21-16. King Pete stood tall on his trusty steed of a pitchers mound, Aggie the Silent was steadfast in his defense of the 2nd baseland, and Hollywood the Twitcher provided the inspiration for the Fat Kids to reign triumphant in glorious battle of beer league softball.

The defense was magnificent from King Pete as he not only confounded the Sockos on a variety of knuckleballs, change ups, and sinkers. He also fielded his postion with the execution of a knight battling a fire breathing dragon, deftly moving side to side to snare the heat seeking softball only to throw the hapless runner out at first. King Pete was not the only fleet of foot athlete on the field this evening as Aggie the Silent made a great play to squelch the advancing enemy and halt their onslot of offense. Hollywood the Twitcher and Sir Chode Cannode also made great defensive plays to put down any advance from the evil Socko Empire.

The offensive attack from the Fat Kids was too much as they defended their keep. Base hits provided the consistent attack the Fat knights needed along with several deep drives delivering the fatal blow. Sir Chode Cannode had a couple of solid hits through the left flank, with Sir Southpaw Cookie and Glass Jaw the Brave attacking the right side. A barrage of offensive strikes were also landed with an in the park homerun from Hollywood the Twitcher and triples from King Pete and Sivahop the Quick, even though Sivahop the Quick was called out by the blind man at third. Kyle the Calm provided the needed deception to throw the enemy off his trail when he fouled off a long what would have been homerun only to keenly place a swinging bunt mere feet in front of home plate as he scampered safely to first. Additional firepower was provided by The Hippie from the North and Tribal Leader Suk Suk who was also successful in his quest to field a fly ball in the vast expanse of the outfield.

The Knights of the Fat Table play their final battle of the regular season next week at 6:15 and then enter the Tower of Doom of the playoffs.
