Wrecking balls

.A chess match broke out on Wednesday evening at the Friendly House. I'd Hit That! and Wrecking Balls...two powerhouse teams on the Underdog dodgeball circuit jockeying for position as the playoffs fast approach next week. This was a battle from the first whistle, with both teams sizing each other up, not wanting to give away their offensive strategy too early and reluctant to make the first throw. The match loosened up by the third game, with Alex, Mark & the gang of Wrecking Balls sensing momentum swinging in their favor. Mark put an explanation point on the night with an amazing "jump off the wall first - catch the ball in the air" out that left all in the building speechless. Did that really just happen? It absolutely did, inspiring Wrecking Balls for the rest of the match. They may have come up short against I'd Hit That! tonight, but Mark's passion for the game and weekly ability to make the seemingly impossible possible is pushing him to legend status in this ultracompetitive dodgeball season
