A Tale of Two Games

It was a close game; it was a blowout. It was a defensive struggle; it was an offensive explosion. It was the summer of our of our enjoyment, and the winter of Hanet’s discontent. The Storm-Hanet game told a familiar story for this season. It was very close through the first three innings. By the end of 3, it was 6-4. Storm was able to put up 8 in the top of the 4^th. That inning, plus the umpire, caused a lot of yelling on Hanet’s side, and the second half of the game was a completely different story.  Storm scored 6 runs in innings 1-3. In innings 4-6 Storm scored 22 runs.

Two outs in an inning watch:

Dave managed to avoid being the 1st and 3^rd out in the   4^th inning by hitting a slow ground ball to 2^nd base that his blazing speed beat out. Of course, this set up Brian for the even rarer feat of being the 2^nd and 3^rd out in the inning.

Cycle Watch:

Both Joey and Bob were a triple short of the cycle.

Joey – 4/6, HR, 5RBI, 4 runs

Injury watch:

Brad suffered a calf injury and was not able to play game 2 of the double-header. He’ll be heading in for some tests to see if he will remain on the active roster or whether he will be placed on the 10, 30, or 60 game disabled list.
