Storm Front Blows Through Tournament

Though the skies were sunny and clear, a storm front definitely blew through the tournament this weekend. It started on Friday night as Storm played a nearly unrecognizable Devils team. It was a tightly contested defensive match through most of the game. Storm eventually pulled ahead and won 12-2.

In the morning, The Falcons flew in to take on Storm. This game certainly had more of an offensive feel, but Storm slugged its way through the Falcons and went on to a 25-14 victory.

Xtreme was next and Storm bats kept rolling. The defense was pretty strong as well and Storm rolled to a 23-12 victory. This win was important, because it meant that Storm would avoid back to back games all day. It allowed for lengthy philosophical discussions on the meanings of 70s rock songs and let the team relax and nurse any injuries that needed tending to, while Storm’s opponent would have to play three consecutive games.

As it would turn out, Storm’s opponent for the championship game would be Xtreme again. Xtreme was tired and frustrated from the heat and competition and started to come undone after an early ball up the middle, and Storm effectively hitting against the defensive alignments they set up. Storm jumped out to an early 6-0 lead and never really looked back. Storm played well on both sides of the ball and went on to win 25-12.

The whole weekend was a great one for Storm. Storm played well on both sides of the ball and was able to keep calm whenever errors were made so no innings ever really spiraled out of control. It was a great team effort.

Special thanks to Dave for the pool party afterwards and to Lance for bringing the meat. Let’s hope this tournament helps Storm stay focused in the year end tournament.
