Two out magic lifts Storm over Greenthumb

Storm worked some two out magic against Greenthumb. In the 4th and 6th innings, Storm scored five runs after two outs were recorded. In the fourth, Storm was able to string together seven consecutive two-out hits, to bring in five runs, and in the sixth, Storm put together four two-out hits including a three-run homer by Lance. Those ten runs ended up being the difference in a tight 20-15 win.

Game Highlights:
Al, Joey, and Lance all hit very timely three-run home runs. Those three homers combined for 9 of Storm’s 20 runs. Lance’s definitive three run shot gave Storm the cushion they needed heading into the bottom of the sixth.

Joey and Al were both clutch throughout the night as they each hit 6 RBI.

The defense was strong, and in the fourth inning, Storm was able to get out of a tough inning with a line-drive double-play. At that moment, the bases were loaded, and had the ball gone through, or had the double-play not been turned, Greenthumb could have added more runs and pulled closer.

Not so highlights:
Todd seemed to be doing something funny to the ball, and frequently Storm batters were unable to square up the ball, including two strikeouts in the 2nd inning.


This game was the perfect way to wrap-up the first half of the season. It was raining, which is pretty much how the year has gone, and Storm played a good game on both sides of the ball.

HR's: Joey (16), Lance (10), Al (6)
