Storm Beats Broadway…finally

 Storm has had a rough couple of weeks against Broadway. Broadway defeated Storm in regular season play, then defeated them twice in the mid-season tournament, then Storm managed to salvage a tie in the fourth meeting in a week. This week, however, Storm decided they were going to step up and get a victory… and they did.

The game started the way many games between Bradway and Storm start.. close. Each team put up three runs in the first inning, and after two it was 4-3 Storm. After three it was 7-7 and things were getting a little tense. After four, Broadway was up 13-9, and things started to look like they were going to end the way many recent encounters had ended. However, Storm seemed to have something special in the 5th last night as they were able to put up double-digits to take a lead they would not surrender.

Jeff started the inning with an out, but the rest of the team remembered how to hit. Kevin doubled, and then Storm strung together three hits. Then with two outs, Brad, Bob, and Duran string together back to back doubles, Joey singled, and Lance doubled. Jeff then came up with the opportunity to be the first and third out of the inning. He hit a deep fly ball to left that hit the top of the fence and bounced over for a three-run homer capping off the 10-run inning.

In the 6th inning, Storm added four more runs . In the 6th, Storm thought variety would be the way to go, as Kenny walked, Brad singled, Bob, homered, and Duran tripled. Had Joey doubled, the team would have hit for the cycle in the inning. Also, Bob was confused when he hit  his home run. Had he hit a triple, he would have had a cycle. Instead he had to settle for a single, double, and two home runs.

Cycle Watch: Bob and Duran are on personal missions to hit as many cycles as possible. Both were a hit short. Bob missed the triple, Duran missed the homer.

Productivity watch: Joey got at least one RBI in every single at bat.


Storm was much better at the plate in this game. As a team, Storm managed 15 extra base hits including four home runs.

HR's: Lance, Bob (2), Jeff
