Storm comes out on top in seesaw game.

 Storm started slowly against Hanet. Unable to put up any runs in the first they trailed 2-0 heading into the second frame. They scored three to take the lead, but it would be short lived (like most of Scoops’s marriages). Hanet would tie it in the bottom of the inning. Storm would score two more to keep the seesaw moving, but would give up four to drop down to the bottom again. This inning was interesting, because it featured some different defence. On a ground ball to Jeff at pitcher he turned and threw the ball directly over second base. Joey and Brad each stopped a few feet from the base staring at the other one as they ball sailed into centre field allowing the runners to move up. 

Storm’s offence fully came to life in the fourth scoring six runs on solid offence. The only issue was Rene’s graceful trot from first to third kept Duran from getting a triple. Both runners would score anyway, so it didn’t matter. However, after Storm scored six and took what appeared to be a commanding lead… they turned around and gave six runs (and the lead) right back to Hanet.

Storm would once again take the lead in the top of the fifth with Sam coming up clutch like the mini Joey he is driving in two and helping Storm take a 14-13 lead. But Storm didn’t really want the lead, as they gave up two runs and the lead to Hanet.

Storm once again took the lead in the top of the 6th. Four hits in a row followed by a sac then another hit helped Storm to storm back once again. This time Storm looked at itself in the mirror and had to decide… were they finally going to hold on to the lead? This time the answer was yes. They kept Hanet off the board in the bottom of the 6th. They added two more in the top of the 7th before the inning ended on a surprising strikeout, by none other than Duran, the double machine who ran out of steam, and struck out for the 15th time in Storm history (including playoffs and tournament play).  Storm gave up two runs in the bottom of the 7th, but with the bases loaded and Storm threatening to cough up yet another lead, they finally slammed the door holding on to a 20-17 victory.
