ELKTON â Kickball is a kidsâ game.
But on Saturday, dozens of adults gathered on the softball diamond behind Pine Grove Market along Oldfield Point Road, southwest of Elkton, and played that very game â numerous times, in fact â with the gusto and glee of children.
Some fielders laid out for balls kicked in their general direction. There were slides into bases, albeit seemingly unintentional ones. There were some circus catches worthy of the highlight reel, including one in which a ball kicked into the air bounced off a shallow left-fielder, looking like a sure error â until an alert nearby player somehow snagged the ball before it hit the ground.
