Storm kept rolling as they played
another excellent game on both sides of the ball against Broadway.
The top of the first looked very
promising. It started with a bang, as Bob hit an ill-fated solo home run that
was the first nail in his barbecue coffin. Storm then scored two on a Joey
homer, after Al grounded out the Storm loaded the bases on three consecutive walks, but could not add any extra more runs.
Defensively the game started
well. Broadway scored a couple of runs and had a couple on but an around the horn double-play got Storm
out of the inning, and after that they never really looked back.
Storm chipped away scoring one
run here, four runs there, with a balanced attack that had the bottom half of
the order contributing a lot of the offense, until the floodgates opened in the
top of the 6th and Storm scored 10 runs to end any hopes of a
Broadway comeback.
Special notes:
Bob had a pretty good day and yet
ended up manning the barbecue afterwards. He hit a home run and two doubles,
scored three runs, and drove in two, but the leadoff solo home run put him in
the running as chef, and popping out three feet in front of home plate with the
bases loaded sealed the deal.
Jeff hit two triples. The first
was pretty graceful, but the second ended in a slide that one person commented
“looked like he’d been shot by a sniper,” and another remarked that it was, “in
the range of a Stottlemyer slide,” to which another player replied, “it wasn’t
that bad; he’s not bleeding,” but later said that Jeff had gotten his head
stuck under a base, so it was a pretty ugly slide.
Joey only managed two hits, but
still was able to record 6 RBI. Kevin got four hits.
HR's: Joey (15), Bob (7)
