Storm Surge in 3rd

 After a slow start in the first two innings, Storm trailed 5-3 when they came up in the bottom of the 3rd. Jeff, Duran, and Bob hit consecutive doubles then Craig hit a triple that he tried to turn into a home run. Thankfully, daddy in law was there to put the reins on him as the ball was literally beside him. Five more consecutive hits followed, and Storm had suddenly put up eight runs.
That was all Storm would need, but they didn’t stop there. Storm put up six more runs in the 4th highlighted by a rare triple from Al. Rene hit a 3-run homer in the 5th to cap off a 4 run inning, and then, after announcing to the team that it was time to start going base to base, Duran pulled a Joey and launched a towering three-run home run. Craig has clearly chosen Duran as his role model. He first demonstrated it earlier in the game with his unwillingness to stop while running the bases, and then demonstrated it in the 6th when, after Duran hit his towering home run, Craig thought, why not, and launched a massive solo home run. Yes, that’s right. You read that correctly. Craig hit a solo home run for the SECOND CONSECUTIVE GAME. He must really like grilling. Or be scared of the water. He might never see the pool at the team barbecues.

Highlights: Duran hit four doubles, and then told everyone base to base, which meant he couldn’t hit another double, so he hit a home run. He scored four runs and drove in four. Rene and Craig were both one hit short of the cycle. Craig missed the double and Rene missed the triple. Lance got two doubles, scored four runs and got four RBI. 

HR's: Rene, Craig, Duran
