Storm Subdues Rebels

The Rebels got off to a great start in the first inning. Everything they hit seemed to find green space either between infielders or in front of outfielders. They gave themselves an 8 run lead before Storm even batted. Storm was not, however, deflated. They answered with 3 in the bottom of the first, held off the Rebels in the 2nd, and tied the game in the bottom of the 2nd.  From there on it was pretty much all Storm as they sailed to a 19-11 victory.

Game Highlights:
Duran was one hit shy of the cycle. After getting a single double and triple, he grounded into a fielder’s choice.

Chris went 3 for 3 with 2 runs and 2 RBI.

HR: Lance (11)

Up Next:

Storm plays Hanet, who forfeited last time these two teams were supposed to face each other.

Photo Finish:
While Storm is virtually guaranteed a 2nd place finish in the overall standings (and 1st in the President’s division), there are a lot of individual records up for grabs in the last 5 games:

Hits – Bob and Duran go into the final five games separated by one hit. Unfortunately for Duran, a trip to Newfoundland probably takes him out of this race unless Bob struggles.

Doubles – Lance, Duran, and Bob are all one double apart going into the final five games

Runs – Duran is only three runs ahead of Bob, and with two games to miss coming up, he is giving Bob a chance to pass him.

Strikeouts – Kenny and Chris are headed into a photo finish for strikeouts separated by only 1 K!
