Storm stumbles (completely falls on it’s a**) against Broadway

Broadway helped Storm out by beating the A’s in the first game of the double-header. Then Broadway turned around and helped the A’s right back by slaughtering Storm in the 2nd game of the evening. It turns out, Broadway was actually trying to help themselves.

The game started off seeming like it was going to be a another tightly contested game between Broadway and Storm. It was 6-5 for Storm going into the bottom of the 3rd. And then the floodgates opened.

The inning started with a hard ground ball that got through 3rd. Then Broadway kept hitting balls that Storm players usually catch, but tonight, couldn’t. What looked like it might be a tragedy, turned very quickly into a comedy of errors as even throws to cut-off men would bounce off of both middle infielders and roll into the infield. It was so bad, that a Broadway player asked if a ground ball to short had actually turned into an out on a force play at 2nd. The inning played out as if someone had snuck onto Storm’s bench and sprayed all of Storm players’ gloves with ball repellant. It was so bad, that Storm gave up more runs in that single inning than they had in 21 games. 21 times Storm gave up 12 runs or fewer in the game. They gave up 12 runs in that inning.

This brings Storm’s record against Broadway and the A’s to 1-5-1. They’ll either need to correct that in the playoffs or need some help if they’re going to manage the threepeat.
