On the field we played 4 games and achieved our goal of qualifying for playoffs- something we didn’t do last year.

Results

  • Game 1 - LI-Kick 0 / Touchdown 7
  • Game 2 - LI-Kick 9 / Sole Assassins (Los Angeles, CA) 2
  • Game 3 - LI-Kick 2 / Underdogs (Dallas, TX) 2

LI-Kick finishes 12 of 24 teams

  • Playoffs - #12 LI-Kick 1 vs. #5 H-Town Kickaholicz (Houston, TX) 6


Our pre-ranking was 14th of 24 teams and in a pool with the 2nd, 11th, and 23rd ranked teams.

The #2 seed beat us 7-0. This was a rematch from last year when they beat us real bad. They take players from all across the country so it really isn’t a fair fight. Still, we played with pride.

We beat the #11 seed 9-2. Getting hits wasn’t so hard as their defense was spotty. Girls did a great job getting on to keep the machine rolling. This was a SoCal team.

We were expecting an easy game against the 23rd seed but they were way better than their ranking suggested. This was the ‘bubble’ game and we needed a good result to qualify for playoffs (top 16). We went down 0-2 but then Kyle beat the left fielder on a HR down the line and we scored the lead off runner the next inning. Deone got us out of a big jam in the last inning when he struck out the batter with the bases loaded. We tied this team 2-2, and earned a playoff spot. They were from Texas

We finished 12th of 24 teams and played the 5th seed in playoffs, a team from Houston. They didn’t have much trouble keeping our runners off the bases and put a lot of pressure on our defense. They went up 6-0. We made it respectable by scoring a run on a triple in the 4th inning, ultimately losing 6-1.
