Storm surges past Surge

 After a tepid first two innings at the plate where Storm managed to score only one run in each inning, and some lacklustre defense, Storm trailed 7-2 going into the bottom of the 3^rd. In the bottom of the 3^rd, however, there was a power surge, as Joey hit a 3-run home run, and Lance hit a 2-run homer.  The power surge continued in the 4^th as Storm plated another 5, with Joey hitting a2-run homer over the trees.

Storm’s defense calmed down and Storm carried a 12-9 lead into the bottom of the 6^th. The first two batters got out, and then Brad got, what seemed like a harmless enough 2-out single; however, Storm was about to have another power surge, and strung together 13 consecutive 2-out hits to score 12 runs in the inning. Kevin was saved the ignominious honour of being the first and third out in the inning when Surge’s left fielder kindly dropped a line drive, and Mike avoided the incredibly rare opportunity to be the 2^nd and 3^rd out in the inning by hitting a single.

Storm was able to hold on to the lead to win 24-11.
