Rah Rah Dogs cruise past For Kicks and Giggles, 7-1 in Bloomfield kickball

Rah Rah Dogs’ 7-1 win over For Kicks and Giggles at Bloomfield Field on Monday night was the kind of gap that makes you look twice at the Bloomfield table. Rah Rah Dogs entered at 3-2-0 and left with a result that pushed the club further into the mix, while For Kicks and Giggles fell back after starting the night at 2-3-0.

The game was the 8:10 p.m. slot in Pittsburgh Sports League’s Summer ’26 Kickball - Mondays at Bloomfield, one of five Monday kickball windows scheduled at Bloomfield Field. The league opened on Monday, June 1, and is set to run through Monday, July 27, weather permitting. It is a recreational, co-ed league for adults 18 and older, played 10 vs. 10 with no more than six men on the field at one time, and each team is guaranteed eight regular-season games.

A six-run margin in kickball is not a cosmetic win. It usually means one side put together multiple productive innings while the other never found a clean answer, and that is what the final line suggested here. Even without inning-by-inning details, Rah Rah Dogs looked like the more efficient team from the opening stretch and kept For Kicks and Giggles from turning the night into a chase.

The standings and recap pages add another layer to the picture. The game recap listed Rah Rah Dogs at 3-2-0 and For Kicks and Giggles at 2-3-0 going in, while the Summer ’26 Monday Bloomfield standings snapshot showed Rah Rah Dogs at 2-2-0 in an earlier excerpt, a reminder that the table was still tightening up as the league worked through June and July. That matters in an eight-game season, where one lopsided result can reshape both the standings and the way a team sees its ceiling.

Rah Rah Dogs also come with some mileage. The team page links the club to multiple prior PSL seasons, including Spring ’26, Fall ’25, Summer ’25, Spring ’25, Fall ’24 and Summer ’24, which gives this group a deeper identity than a one-night hot streak. In a league where every Monday night counts, that continuity can matter as much as any single box score.

PSL’s roster rules make the setup just as structured off the field. All players must be rostered on the website to be eligible, teams must carry at least 12 players and may roster up to 20, and participants must be PUMP members in good standing. The league fee is $785, plus a $50 non-refundable deposit. By the time the Bloomfield slate rolled through its 6:30 p.m., 7:20 p.m., 8:10 p.m., 9:00 p.m. and 9:50 p.m. slots, Rah Rah Dogs had already posted the night’s bluntest statement.
