SMHEBOYB beats I've Done Worse 9-2 in Broad Ripple Park matchup

SMHEBOYB turned Thursday night at Broad Ripple Park into a controlled 9-2 win over I’ve Done Worse, and the score line fit the way the game unfolded from the middle innings on. The visitor came away with a seven-run margin at Diamond 5, the kind of gap that keeps a matchup alive on paper but leaves little doubt about which side was managing the night.

The July 9 game started at 8:05 p.m. in CCA Sports’ Summer 2026 Thursday Recreational Kickball League, with SMHEBOYB listed as the visitor and I’ve Done Worse as the home team. By the end, SMHEBOYB had moved to 4-1-0, while I’ve Done Worse dropped to 2-3-0. The result gave SMHEBOYB another clean entry in a season that has now produced enough wins to put it near the top of the early standings.

What stood out most was not a dramatic finish but the absence of one. SMHEBOYB put up nine runs and kept applying pressure instead of relying on a single burst to separate. That matters in recreational kickball, where games can turn on one inning, one defensive lapse or one loose sequence in the field. Here, the visitors kept extending the margin until the contest settled into a comfortable shape.

I’ve Done Worse scored twice, enough to avoid a shutout and show it found some offensive moments, but not enough to threaten a comeback once SMHEBOYB had taken control. The two-run total also reflected a night when the home side could not stack enough productive possessions to make the final innings meaningful. In a league setting where run prevention can matter as much as run scoring, 9-2 is the kind of result that usually signals a team handled both sides of the ball with discipline.

The game came in the middle of a crowded Broad Ripple Park schedule that began June 4 and runs across eight Thursdays, with games set for 6:15 p.m., 7:10 p.m. and 8:05 p.m. CCA Sports describes kickball as one of its longstanding and most popular adult leagues, and the July 9 slate showed a range of results across the park, including Kicked to the curb’s 6-4 win over Balls of Mayhem and Sit on my base’s 14-6 victory over Unsolicited Kick Pics. Against that backdrop, SMHEBOYB’s 9-2 result read less like a coin-flip and more like a team that knew how to build separation and keep it.
