Summer Co-ed Softball at Irving Park Mon/Tue/Wed

Made ridiculous catches in the outfield throughout the game, including the first out in the 7th inning to secure the win!!!

Kenji put all of his talents on display this week. And folks, that doesn't stop at his athletic prowess. Kenji spreads good vibes with a great attitude and he just might have a chance at becoming a light night open mic comedy star. Kenji has fun, he plays hard, what CAN'T he do?!

Nikkey Cardema did it all for team eROIals on Tuesday night at Irving Park. Not only did Nikkey pitch an outstanding game, but he drove in the game-winning run in the bottom of the 7th inning. With two outs in the bottom of the 7th and the winning run on second base, Nikkey put a ball deep into the gap in left-center field. The runner from second scored standing up and the eROIals earned the win as the sun faded on Irving Park.

To start the game, Adam Eury had an amazing diving backhand stop at Shortstop and flipped it to second to record the out. He was only getting started. Adam continued to shine in the field as well as the plate. With How YOU Doin'? down 4 runs int he top of the 7th, Adam drove in the tying run to keep the game alive. All around great performance from Adam!

It was a night to remember for Colin Reese. With his team needing a win to move up to 2nd place in the league standings, Colin delivered. Colin hit for the cycle with a double in his last at-bat. Colin was also remarkable in the field strategically placing himself in the outfield. Great job, Colin!

John Casana may want to contemplate a career in comedy or acting. Although his play on the field is stellar, John is the definition of an Underdog Sports Leagues participant. From the moment he stepped on to the field, he was putting a smile on everybody's face, including the other team. With his makeshift solar windmill and his cape, he made Monday night at Erv Lind field one to remember executing one punch line after another! Thank you, John, for providing so many laughs!

Cameron Duhon; modern day warrior?........some may say so. Mr. Duhon showed up ready to play this evening; bandana tied loosely around his neck incase he needed to block out the haze the filled the Wednesday night air, a backwards Oregon Ducks hat and a look in his eyes of shear focus and will. Underhanded Compliments started off the night in Game #2, earning a win to move them on to face the #1 seeded How YOU Doin'. Duhon was blocking every ball in the dirt like he had collected a six figure signing bonus to do so. I ball never made it to the backstop and at times he would use his throwing hand to bat the ball on a short hop to keep it in front. On a wild throw to home plate during Game #2, Cameron pulled of a sideways knee slide to chest up a throw like a true professional..........IN SHORTS!!! Game #3 came with one of the best plays I've seen all year and what a better time to lay it all out on the line then playoff season. A foul tip was making it's way towards the backstop when Cameron jumped just enough to catch it before hitting the fence, while in the process smashing into the backstop and remaining in possession of the ball for the inning's third out. It was such a magnificent catch that I had to help him off the ground after he was forced to barrel roll after the catch. Cameron then leads of the following inning with an absolute no doubter of a home run to cap off a legendary performance. Unfortunately Underhanded Compliments fell to the #1 seed 20-10, but no body at Erv Lind will forget the legend of Cameron Duhon.
