Storm Elevates Over Direct

An orange moon rose over the field bringing good omens for Storm as they took on Direct Elevator. Storm got off to a good start as they scored 5 runs in the 1st and added 4 more in the 2^nd. Direct was only able to get 1 run across the plate in those two innings. The game really tightened up in the 3^rd and 4^th as only 1 run was scored between the two teams. Storm opened it up again in the 5^th as Storm was able to score 8 runs on 11 hits including a 3 run blast by James. Storm wasn’t able to add any more in the 6^th or 7^th, but they already had more than enough as they cruised to a 17-5 victory. Solid defense and good pitching helped to make this one another fast-paced game.

Perhaps it is appropriate that Storm picked up their 35^th win against Direct Elevator. This victory guarantees that Storm will have the highest winning percentage in the known history of WMSPL, the previous high being Pro Golf (now Direct Elevator) in 2002 with a 32-2-2 record (.917). Storm can now finish with a winning percentage of no lower than .921. 35 wins is also a league high in total victories.
