A’s come from behind


The A’s and Storm played a very tightly contested game. It was close all throughout. Storm had a lead going into the bottom of the seventh, but Manos hit a walk-off grand slam, and the A’s won 17-13. Of course, whoever had the scoresheet for Storm was so upset about this, that this was not marked. None of those runs were scored, so on Storm’s scoresheet, the final score is 13-13. However, Storm was not the home team, and therefore not the official scoresheet, so we’re pretty sure the A’s marked the grand slam and submitted the correct official score of 17-13.

The game was well-played on defense, and Storm and A’s traded runs throughout the game. After four innings, the game was locked at 5-5. Both teams were playing solid defense, and it didn’t look like either team was going to give anything. In the top of the 6th, however, it looked like Storm got the break they needed. Bob hit a fly ball that fell between two A’s players due to miscommunication. Duran then clocked a three-run homer, and Joey did what he does best, hit a solo home run. Storm had a six run inning, which almost matched the total number of runs they had for the game.

In the 7th inning, both teams had the bottom two and then top due up. Storm’s top didn’t do anything when the lineup turned over. The A’s bottom two both got on, and the A’s top came through with three singles, followed by an intentional walk, and then a rand slam. The A’s top two batters had been held hit-less until the 7th inning. Timely hitting for the A’s came through and their incredible season continues.

HR's: Joey, Duran
