Spring Wednesday Co-Ed Dodgeball at Friendly House

Wednesday Spring league 2011 at Friendly House got off to a great start. Spirits were high, game faces were on and the new team t-shirts were free of coffee and beer stains (for now). Ben Kocarnik of I'd hit that! had the eye of the tiger for both of their victories on opening night. The highlight of Ben's all around stellar play was an amazing catch made against The Flix. In the words of one of his teammates..."the best in between the legs catch ever!" Sportscenter now has another amazing play from Underdog Sports League to add to its Top 10 list.

Dodgeball at the Friendly House is usually a very special occasion. Wednesday was even more special as we had Joshua Huber playing on his 40th birthday. Josh was his usual energetic self, motivating his team with humor and steady throws and catches. To cap off the night he even took a "birthday shot" in his groin for his team. What a team player! Happy 40th Josh!

If one was to go over game film of Dodgeball at the Friendly House on Wednesday night Nathalie Matson performance would vividly stand out. Her unorthodox fast pitch delivery immediately put opponents on their heels. Not only is the sheer velocity overwhelming, but the angle of the throw is very low usually connecting below the shin. But throwing is not the only aspect that stood out; she also made some very difficult catches which allowed her teammates to get back into the game. One of those teammates was "Catchmaster" Tyler Spencer who quoted his teammates performance as "unbelievable, her throws are two inches off the ground....amazing." Great week Ms. Matson!

Brad Bush led his team to the championship by showing excellent leadership skills to go with great individual play. His catches are envied by many players and his throws are always firm with great movement. His laid back demeanor also keeps his team under control and steady. Great week Brad!
