Storm tie Direct Elevator 12 - 12

It was a great night for ball last night, and that's exactly what happened. Direct Elevator kept clawing back inning after inning and pushing ahead of the Storm in the top of the seventh with a 3 run inning. Cue the dramatics, with the Storm down one run they needed some hits. First batter popped up to third, next 3 batters got on base, so with the bases loaded and one out Matt hit a hard shot down third which was picked up and fired home in time to record the second out. Now two out, bases still loaded Lance hits a shot to left field in front of the fielder scoring one run to tie, Brad who was coaching third waved Ron home. It was close at the plate but when the catcher is 7 feet tall it makes a difference. Ron was thrown out at home by the narrowest of margins. End result is 12 - 12 tie, in what turned out to be a game that had one of the best atmospheres of the year. One footnote to this game is that it was the first game all year that all four team awards were given out, thanks, Fred, Brad, Ron, and Mike T. for supplying the extra entertainment.
