Storm gets B+ vs. A's

The A's started the game with a remarkable first inning. It seemed like every ball they hit was just out of reach or into a gap somewhere. They managed a remarkable 13 runs in the first inning. That’s more than Storm has given up in some of its games this year.

After that Storm recovered, and scored seven unanswered runs in the next three inning to cut the lead down to four and then actually tied the game in the top of the fifth. However, the As responded with 7 in the bottom half of the fifth to go back up. Storm allowed the A's to increase the lead in the bottom of the sixth and entered the seventh down nine. They put up a valiant effort, scoring five and drawing to within three, but couldn’t complete the comeback. However, had Storm scored the number of runs to tie the game the inning likely would have reverted before they had retired the A's anyway.

Lance hit two home runs, Dave knocked one out, and Jeff hit a homer in his last at bat, which means he now has as many home runs that count as home runs that were outs this year.
