The Big Green outslug Limes dizeaze 14-11 in Dayton kickball battle

The Big Green outlasted Limes dizeaze 14-11 on Tuesday at Kettering Fields, turning a loose, high-scoring night into another win for one of Dayton Sportcial’s early front-runners. The final margin matched the shape of the game: no long stretch of control, just enough clean offense from The Big Green to stay ahead when the runs kept coming.

The result moved The Big Green to 5-1-0 and dropped Limes dizeaze to 3-4-0, a split that kept both clubs in the middle of the league conversation in very different ways. The Big Green continued to look like a team that can win in a track meet, while Limes dizeaze showed it can pile up enough offense to hang around, even if the defensive side still leaves too many openings.

That fits the way Dayton Sportcial’s 2026 Kickball Session I - Tuesdays is built. The session began Tuesday, May 5, runs eight games with six guaranteed, and is played as a one-hour kickball format over seven innings, with extra innings allowed if time permits. The rules also call for rosters ideally larger than 10 players, with at least eight players needed to be game-eligible at the start, including at least four self-identifying females and four self-identifying males.

June 23 was a double-header night for at least some teams, and the schedule showed how quickly things could unravel once runs started stacking up. Limes dizeaze had another game that night and lost 15-2 to Flamboyance, while The Big Green’s meeting with Limes dizeaze stood as one of the evening’s more competitive matchups. Dayton Triangles were 5-0-0 around that stretch, with The Big Green right behind at 5-1-0, followed by Teal Team and Alcoballics at 4-3-0 and Limes dizeaze at 3-4-0.

Dayton Sportcial says its kickball leagues have drawn thousands of Daytonians, with T-shirts for every player, post-game bar games, and $1.04 from every registration donated to the Kroc Center, Dayton YMCA, and Dayton Recreation & Youth Services. On a night like this, the numbers on the field and the numbers tied to the league both pointed to the same thing: this was a game about surviving chaos, not controlling it.
