If you noticed the lights on at Walnut Creek Softball Complex, here's hoping you took a closer look and marveled in the sight: Adults on the diamond playing kickball.
And this was serious kickball. The City of Raleigh Parks and Recreation Department's Adult Kickball Tournament championship was at stake, with the original 32 teams whittled down to two.
When the big red ball was launched for the last time, New Kicks On The Block had defeated Scared Kickless 2-0.
Scared Kickless advanced to the championship game by defeating The Basement 4-2 in the semifinals, and New Kicks On The Block advanced by defeating Just Kickin' It 11-4.
