Storm defeats Remax in war of attrition

 Re/Max gave Storm a scare as they played far better than their 2-15 record would imply. They hit well right off the bat and scored six in the top of the 1^st. Storm could only muster three runs in reply, two of which came off a homer by Joey.

Storm tightened up the defense in the 2^nd. Well, Bob made some nice plays in the outfield and it was three up three down. Storm then put up 7 in the bottom half of the frame. Joey hit his 2^nd home run in as many innings.

After taking the lead in the bottom of the 2^nd, Storm gave it right back in the top of the 3^rd as Re/Max scored a whopping 9 runs to take the lead. They gave Storm a home run back, which ended up working against them, because in the bottom of the 3^rd, Storm would score 9 runs of their own capped off by a grand slam by Jeff that was predicted by Lance as he went to the plate. Storm was up 19-15, and this time they wouldn’t cough it up. Re/Max managed 2 runs in the top of the 4^th , but Storm answered with 7, and in the final frame Re/Max scored none and Storm added 4 more.

Re/Max played a solid game and was winning halfway through the 3^rd. They look like a team that could pull things together in time for the playoffs and steal a seed or send a top team home early.

Notable Boxscores:

Joey – 5 for 6, 2 HR, 5 runs, 8RBI

Kenny – 5 for 5, 3 runs, 4 RBI

Duran – 5 for 5, 5 runs, 5 RBI

Al – 4 for 4, 4 runs, 3 RBI,

Bob - 4 for 6, 4 runs, 2 RBI

Jeff – 3 for 4, Grand Slam, 4 RBI, 4 runs,

Lance’s boxscore was also pretty notable. He had possibly the best 2 for 6 game you could have. He smoked one down the third base line that was caught, hit a hard line drive caught by the left fielder, hit a home run out, and hit a sharp line drive that was caught by a diving left centre fielder. He could have easily gone 6 for 6.

Cycle Watch:

Joey missed the triple, though he hit 2 home runs and two doubles.

Duran missed the HR.

Jeff missed the triple.

1^st and 3^rd out watch:

Twice in the game Storm players managed the infamous first and third out. Lance did it in the 3^rd, (though his second out was a home run out), and Greg did it in the 4^th.

Scoring Note:

If any of the stats for this game are incorrect, it is due to the fact that so much was missing from the score sheet. Four RBIs were missing, two ENTIRE AT BATS were not recorded and had to be figured out later due to the fact that certain people couldn’t have batted if others had not, and three people mysteriously reached base with no anecdotal evidence of how they got there. 

HR's: Joey (2), Jeff
