AA Playoffs Round 1: Pitches Be Crazy @ Red White and Goon

omne trium perfectum | Good Things Come In Threes

Pitches Be Crazy joins the select few champions that have earned the right to shout "threepeat" during their celebrations. The tone in which they exclaim it indicates the streak will continue. 

"It is hard to beat a person who never gives up." -Babe Ruth

Suck My Kick, once full of passion and determination, had their honor hacked down and placed on full display with a single text: "We're out tonight". They doubled down on their lack of integrity when they forfeited their first round playoff game against PBC the following week. 

Pitches Be Crazy released a team statement urging those who see this message to never give up. 

The Pitches continue to put up performance after performance in another 10-2 win against the independent team. Their seventh win of the season cements them as a one-seed in this season's Mount Pleasant Wednesday Playoffs. 

PBC Short Stop Caroline Hitchner on securing the first seed: "Satisfaction lies in the effort, not in the attainment; full effort is full victory.”

Newton's First Law of Motion shows no exception tonight as The Pitches steamroll the Atek Alcoballics. Showing excellence on both sides of the ball, The Pitches penciled in their first clean sheet of the season in addition to scoring ten runs. 

Pitches Be Crazy manager Jimmy Long on the game: "It was a complete game. Our first complete game. Watching us play kickball tonight was like watching Sabine Meyer play in an orchestra conducted by Nickleback. It was beautiful."

Pitches Be Crazy demonstrate their dominance in a battle of the undefeated. Following the fundamentals of the game, The Pitches showed why they haven't lost a regular-season game in the last calendar year. Their triumphant win over the Bad News Bears tonight leaves them as the only remaining undefeated team in the league. 

Rivalry week in Mount Pleasant isn't typically pleasant. Pitches Be Crazy take down their little brother, Kickelob Ultra, furthering their undefeated season. It was an emotional match for Pitches Be Crazy as the name "Kickelob Ultra" had a direct tie to their former first basemen and current Hall Of Famer, Ryan Wilson. 

Pitches Be Crazy secure their third win of the season, officially making it a streak. The Pitches' offense came alive late in the game to overcome a strong ATEK Alcoballics team. 

The Pitches are set to take on Kickelob Ultra, the name stolen from the original PBC team, next week in an unmistakable rivalry match.

After an early staggering lead, The Pitches seized the opportunity to rotate players into unfamiliar positions. Outfielder Connor Fewin and Pitcher James long took repetitions at 3B while Natalie Rucks had a crack at SS. The game-turned-practice session ultimately ended, giving Pitches Be Crazy their second win of the season.

Pitches Be Crazy kicked off their sixth consecutive season against Suck My Kick. Defensively, The Pitches shook off first-inning rust before shutting down Suck My Kick. Offensively, The Pitches didn't skip a beat, hammering in a significant number of runs. 

Newly acquired kickball veteran, Randy, provided The Pitches with the insight and leadership they've been searching for in the offseason. The Pitches look to build on their success next week against IND.
