Storm defeats Direct

The game started slowly as both teams were shut out in the first inning. However, with two outs in the 2nd, Kenny commented that Jeff was throwing a perfect game, after which the floodgates absolutely opened. The baseball gods should not be messed with. Direct went on to score 6 runs with two outs.

Storm responded in the bottom of the 2nd with 7 runs to take the lead, but Direct’s bats really heated up in the top of the 3rd with 8 more runs. Storm tried to even it out, but was stopped at 6 runs.

A pitching change cooled down the Direct bats a little, and Direct only managed one run in the next three innings. Storm used this time to tie up the game in the bottom of the 4th. Direct managed to blank Storm in the 5th, but Storm exploded for 10 in the bottom of the sixth. They were able to hold on to the victory in the top of the 7th.

There were some great defensive highlights, including two leaping catches by Bob, and Chris throwing out a runner at 2nd base.

Offensively James and Chris are heating up as each put up 4 hits. James also pounded out a home run. Al also hit a home run and drove in four while pitching 4 solid innings.

Storm showed a lot of fortitude and stayed with the game even after falling behind a couple of times.

Next up: Devils.
