Storm solid all around

Storm bounced back from their loss Sunday night and played a complete game with solid hitting, defence, and pitching to win convincingly against Surge 17-5. It started slowly, looking like a pitchers duel with 4 total runs scored during the first three innings, but Storm broke it open in the fourth and never looked back.

Highlights:

Whether Jeff was channeling Stanley Ipkiss or Hannibal Lecter, he definitely pitched like a different man and carried a shutout through 6 and ⅔ innings. Part of the reason Storm didn’t give up many runs was because they didn’t give away runs. All the plays that should have been made were made, and some plays were made that went above and beyond. Bob made a few really nice catches in the outfield. The infield played a solid game until the last inning when a couple of balls squeaked through, but there were no serious blunders and Storm shut the door on Surge until Surge surged with one out left. . 

Storm also hit well and spread out the runs across the order. Every player on the team scored at least one run. 

Lowlights:

Brad MaKDougall got his first strikeout of the year on a foul ball and proclaimed “that’s my strikeout for the year,” which has left some spectators skeptical. 

Joey was doubled off on an infield  fly. He didn’t hop back to the base fast enough and looked like a deer in the headlights when he realized the throw was coming.

This is because:

• The writers are Canadian writers who are standing in solidarity with their WGA counterparts
• The writers are lazy and are using the WGA strike as an excuse
