Storm puts on show against Broadway


Apparently the long walk from K2 o K1 was enough for Storm players to clear their heads or shake things off, because they looked like a different team against Broadway. The offense was solid, and the defense was tight, not to mention there was some stellar pitching.

In the top of the 1st it looked like it might be a long game for Storm. Duran’s triple was the only real sign of offense, and Storm only managed one run. The bottom of the inning, however, saw Storm get some clutch defense as they were able to hold Broadway to one run and force them to leave the bases loaded.

In the 2nd inning Storm still hadn’t recovered offensively and put up no runs. In the bottom of the 2nd, Broadway had the chance to blow the game wide open. They had the bases loaded with only one out. A hard grounder up the middle was snagged by the pitcher and thrown home for the force. Storm then managed to end the inning without surrendering a run and forcing Broadway to leave the bases loaded for the second consecutive inning.

In the top of the 3rd Storm found its bats. Seven consecutive hits started the inning on the inning, producing seven runs. Broadway would get nothing. Storm only managed one in the top of the 4th, but Mike’s pitching became dominant in his second inning out there. He was one pitch away from striking out the side. That’s a rare feat for slo-pitch. The third batter hit a weak grounder to short in his effort to avoid the fate. Still, two strikeouts in an inning is an achievement.

In the 5th and 6th, Storm blew it open. They scored seven in the 5th and eight in the 6th before running out of steam in the 7th. Still Storm won 24-2. Quite the opposite achievement to the first game of their double-header.
