Storm stumbles into playoffs

Storm struggled for the second game in a row. Instead of one really bad inning, Storm decided to go for two fairly bad innings, giving up seven runs in each of the first two innings. Jeff came into pitch in the 3^rd and held the A’s to only two runs over the final four innings. His shut down strategy was based around serving up home run outs as the A’s were +2 after the 2^nd inning.

Duran seems to have found his cock between games, because he made a couple of nice plays in the field. It was believed that Duran simply might have transferred his curse to Rene who missed a few balls, but Rene also made a few nice plays later in the game.

Storm did not produce much offense in the game scoring only five runs in the final six innings, including being shut out in the 5^th and 7^th.

In the previous game, Duran and Jeff both had multi-season consecutive game streaks come to the end. In this game, Brad had a consecutive season streak come to an end. Until 2019, Brad had hit at least one home run in each of his previous 17 seasons. But in 2019, he was unable to knock a dinger. In his final at bat the entire team was cheering for him. With the A’s  +2 in home runs, Storm had four home runs to play with, and Brad had the greenlight to hit a home run. He was also given the greenlight to keep running wherever he hit the ball. However, a line drive over second base fell in and Brad stopped at first.
