After giving up a two run home run to the second Surge bater, Storm shut down Surge in the top of the 1st, and then surged ahead in the bottom of the inning. Duran singled and then Rene hit it off the end of the bat and… over the fence. Lance also knocked a home run and Storm scored the maximum six.
Storm shut out Surge in the second and then added for more, concluding with Rene hitting another opposite field home run off the end of the bat. He had two home runs and four RBI in his first two plate appearances.
A leadoff walk to the last batter in Surge’s order led to a surge in offence from Surge as the next batter hit a two run home run, and Surge surged back into the game with a six run mercy inning of their own.
Storm scored the maximum six in the fourth with Rene having to keep the ball in the park and extended their lead beyond the reach of any power Surge had to offer.
There was some solid defence near the end of the game. Duran made a great leaping catch on a ball that seemed like it was over his head.
Storm doubled Surge for a 24-12 win.
New player watch: Ken did not show up and did not sign out. Curious to see how Lance will deal with that in his next lineup. Especially since Ken was his pick-a-friend. And Adam made his debut. In his first two at bats he only had a 33% contact rate, but you only have to make contact once and he got a hit and drove in a run on his first at bat!
