In the second, Storm would extend their lead powered by a two run blast by Joey, and Storm led 8-5 after 2. The offence for both teams played hooky through the next two innings, as each team only scored one run total across the frames meaning it was 9-6 at the end of four.
Storm started hitting again in the fifth. They put up five runs. Who knows how many Storm could have gotten as the first two outs were handed to the Buellers by Bob and Joey’s home run outs. Storm had extended their lead to 14-6 and it looked like they would cruise to the end.
It was too early to plan a victory parade,, though, as the Buellers crashed their plans and scored three in the top of the sixth bringing them to within 5. In the bottom of the 6th, Joey either had no faith in The Buellers relay ability or no faith in Jeff’s hitting ability, because with two outs he adamantly waved Bob home who got thrown out fairly easily ending the inning. Storm’s defence was able to shut down the Buellers in the top of the 7th and Storm held on to win.
Storm’s defence played another fairly solid game, though three different instances saw balls hit the ground in the outfield and then somehow get through the outfielder. But for the most part the defence was excellent highlighted by a superb running and leaping catch by Craig. The offence was also firing on all cylinders as the team hit well top to bottom again.
