Cucumber Gimlets

First Place

Kickball - Tuesdays (Summer '16) - Presented by Miller Lite

The "Cucumber Gimlets" are our Tuesday Night Midtown champions in a bit of an upset for the #3 seed heading into the night. With just an above-average 4-3-1 record following the regular season, these underdogs had to knock off two tough opponents to win it all. That didn't seem to matter too much to our champs as they mowed down those top two seeds en route to their march to the top of the podium.

The first game of the night in the Midtown bracket saw the top team entering the night, "On Tuesdays We Wear Pink", just sneak by "Kick Tease" by the final of 4-3. While the win was great, you had to think they were looking for more of a convincing win. Either way, the win put them into the championship game.

The "Cucumber Gimlets" took the field in game two of the Midtown bracket against "Ur-in", a squad that had managed a fantastic 7-1 regular season record. Records only mean so much when it comes playoff time though, and "Cucumber Gimlets" proved that with a nail-biting 4-3 win to punch their ticket the finals.

In the championship game "On Tuesdays We Wear Pink" was definitely the favorite despite that so-so first game. "Cucumber Gimlets" meanwhile was coming of a great win and was able to ride that wave on through the championship.

Throughout the season "On Tuesdays We Wear Pink" only allowed 2.25 runs per game, making them the top defensive team in the league. That didn't stop "Cucumber Gimlets" from picking up four hard-earned runs, proving to be just enough to beat out the favorite to win it all by the score of 4-3.

Congrats to "Cucumber Gimlets", the winner of our Tuesday Kickball Midtown championship, despite a tough uphill battle. Against all odds they are the champion, and deservedly so!
