*ROCKLIN* Pickleball - Thursdays (Summer '25)

The Thursday night beginner pickleball league in Rocklin wrapped up an exciting two-week playoff run, with ten teams hitting the courts at Twin Oaks Park.

Round 1 on July 31 saw 8th seed Kiss My Ace edge out 9th seed Pickle Me Elmo in a close 2–1 battle to move on. On the other court, 7th seed Dink Responsibly advanced past 10th seed Love Me Some Pickles without dropping a game.

In the quarterfinals, top-seeded The Unmatched showed why they earned the #1 spot, sweeping Kiss My Ace 3–0. 5th seed Just Dinkin Around pulled off the upset over 4th seed Legends in a clean 3–0 win. 2nd seed Team C fought off a determined 7th seed Dink Responsibly squad for a 2–1 victory, while 3rd seed Picklebacks held on for a 2–1 win over (6) Team A.

The semifinals on August 7 featured some intense rallies. The Unmatched topped Just Dinkin Around 2–1, while Team C outlasted Picklebacks 2–1 in another nail-biter, setting up a #1 vs. #2 championship match.

In the finals, The Unmatched proved their name was no exaggeration. They took Game 1, Team C answered back in Game 2, but The Unmatched slammed the door in Game 3 to win 2–1 and capture the Thursday Beginner Pickleball title.

Congratulations to The Unmatched for an incredible season and a well-earned championship!
