Storm’s defence takes spotlight in victory over Broadway

Slopitch is normally seen as an offensive sport, but sometimes it can be won with the glove not the bat. That was primarily the case in the quarterfinal matchup between Storm and Broadway.

Storm’s defence stood strong against a tough Broadway lineup. Duran set the tone in the first, covering a lot of ground and making a fantastic catch in deep left field. As if the outfielders were trying to one up each other, Bob made a fantastic sliding catch. He slid to the exact spot the ball would come down and waited for it to fall into his glove! Duran made a second fantastic catch diving for a ball that had many of the Storm players having flashbacks to a similar play that Craig made earlier in the season that put him on the IL for two months and earned him his nickname. And Greg topped them all by catching a ball that was over the fence that would have given Broadway the lead. He held it up high, the green ball looking like a scoop of mint chip ice cream. 

Storm did put together some timely offence. Mills made an aggressive head first slide into second. It wasn’t until the 6th that the bats really started to sing as Storm exploded for sixth capped off by a three run double.
