Double victory in doubleheader

In a rare true double-header, Storm faced off against Bollocks. The storms held off so Storm could rain down runs on Bollocks.

Game 1 -  It was fairly close through two innings. Storm led 6-0 going into the 3rd. Then the skies opened up and the runs started to pour in. They scored 8 in the 3rd and 14 in the 4th. In the midst of that 14 run 4th inning, Duran did his best Joey impression, and launched a 3 run home run almost to the tennis courts. After their at-bat in the 5th, Bollocks decided to call it a game and head directly to game 2.

Notable boxscores:
Duran- 3/3, 2 HR, 1 triple, 4 runs, 7 RBI
Al - 4/4, 3 runs, 2RBI
Joey – 3/3, 4 runs, 1RBI
Lance – 4/4, HR, 3 runs, 4 RBI
Kevin – ¾, 3 runs, 4 RBI
Kenny – 3/3, 3 runs 2 RBI

HR's: Duran (2), Lance

Game 2 - It started poorly for Bollocks, in the first inning, their outfielders didn’t even move for balls that were hit in their direction and decided to chirp Storm runners who kept running when they decided not to run after the balls.  Storm scored 10 in the first. By the 2nd inning Storm was already going station to station – except for Joey. In the 3rd inning, up 14-0, Joey clobbered a three-run home run. He was apparently upset that Duran was stealing his thunder.

Bollocks finally got their bats going in the 3rd inning. They hit two home runs to bring the score 17-3, but they only managed two more in the 4th and called the game at 23-5 after four innings.

After sitting in the circle for a while, Duran mentioned that Bollocks actually had pretty good wings, so members of Storm decided to head over. When they arrived, the manager informed them that they could not serve Storm players food. Allegedly the kitchen was closed, but it’s also possible that news of the thrashing Storm had given their sponsee had reached them and they refused service on that principle. Storm players were still hungry, so they headed over to Boston Pizza for beer, wings, and unicorn lemonade!

Notable boxscores:
Mike – 3/3, 2 triples, 3 runs, 3RBI
Joey – 3/3, HR,  2 runs, 3RBI
Jeff – 4/4, double, 2 runs, 2 RBI
Dave 3/3, 2 runs

Streak Watch:
Duran got an extra base hit in his 30th consecutive game, setting a New Storm record!

HR's: Joey
