Storm avoids four losses to Broadway in one week…. with a tie

Storm was a little shorthanded, but put in a decent effort. With only three outfielders, the outfield was not a problem in the 17-17 tie to Broadway.

With Joey moved to centre, Jeff slid over to shortstop. The first couple of innings were a little rough for him as one ground ball took a big hop and hit his chest, then another stayed right down and got through his legs. The extra outs in the first two innings would help Broadway jump out to a 7-0 lead. It looked like it was going to be a runaway, but Storm stormed back with a three-run 3rd and an 11- run 4th. Unfortunately, Storm could not hold onto that lead as Broadway scored 7 in the top of the 5th.

The seesaw scoreboard continued as Storm scored three in the 6th and Broadway scored 2 in the top of the 7th. With Brad, the go-ahead run at 3rd, Broadway walked Duran and Joey to load the bases creating a force at the plate. Lance then lifted a shallow fly ball to left to bring Jeff to the plate. After taking three straight balls to start the at-bat, Brad put one off the back of the board. The next pitch was right in there and Jeff it a sharp line drive to left field… that was caught. Game over. Tie game.

HR's: Lance, Jeff, Duran, Joey
