Storm Powers Past Falcons

For some reason, the Falcons had the two time defending League champion Storm at fourth in the league power rankings heading into the game last night. This served as motivation for some Storm members.

Duran decided to show just how much power he had by leading off the game with a home run. This might not be the best use of power, and it certainly hurt Bob later as he hit a home run out with runners on base, but it certainly was a game starting statement.

The game itself was quite exciting. The teams traded home runs and runs throughout the game. Leads changed multiple times and it came down to the final inning. With runners on 2nd and 3rd, The Falcons elected to walk Duran to load the bases to create a force at home. Bob hit a hard line drive through the infield and Storm won.

There were lots of feats of power in this game. Joey hit a cycle by the fourth inning. Yes, that’s right. He batted four times in four innings and hit the cycle. Baseball historians are currently combing through professional and amateur annals to see if this feat has ever been accomplished before.

Duran, the triples specialist was oddly a triple short of the cycle, but still collected a 5 hit night. Brad also had a 5 hit night.

Storm seems to be back on a roll. Eight days off now for those who are suffering from any ailments before they face off against Surge next week.


Have a great long weekend everyone!

HR's: Joey, Duran
