Third Annual Summer Softball Showdown
The Third Annual Summer Softball Challenge was held this past Saturday at the 80th Street Field in Stone Harbor at the Jersey Shore. Ladies from the KiXX Dance Team, Flyers Ice Team, Phillies Ball Girls and Wings Angels slugged it out while raising money for the Comcast-Spectator Foundation, the Phillies Charities and the KiXX Charities.
Originally the plan was for a combined Phillies-KiXX team to take on a team from the Flyers and Wings. But summer shore traffic (I heard on the radio there was a 20-mile backup on Delsea Drive) delayed the arrival of some players, so The Phillies Ball Girls ended up playing on both teams.
The Pink Team (Flyers, Wings, Phillies)
The Grey Team (KiXX, Phillies)
The Phillie Phanatic made an appearance.
This is the last appearance for Rachel as a member of the KiXX Dance Team. She just earned her degree in Organizational Communication from Temple. She has a lead on a job in the area, but if it doesn’t pan out she’s moving to Dallas. Good luck, Rachel!
Both teams
An after party featuring a live band, silent auction and meet and greet with the participants was held at the Golden Inn just a couple of blocks away. Unfortunately, I have no photos from the party. I had to hustle back to Philadelphia to cover the Philadelphia Fight Vixens Dance Team. Those photos are coming tomorrow.
