Storm Victorious in Home Opener

 The game didn’t start so well for the Storm, but the season had a strong start as Storm stormed back against the Crew and walked away with a come from behind victory.

The game didn’t start the way Storm would have liked. The Crew scored four in the top of the first, and Storm was only able to recoup half the runs. Each team put up goose eggs in the second and Storm remembered how to hit in the third. Mills hit a run of the Mill(s) double followed by Joey blasting his first home run of the season. Duran then hit his first (Han) solo of the year, which would be important for his own statline later in the game. Storm kept chipping their way through the order and scored five to take the lead. The fourth was strong for Storm on both sides of the ball as they blanked The Crew and scored four more as Mills hit his first triple of the season.

Storm took a 10-5 lead into the fifth but gave up seven runs to fall behind. Fortunately, Storm didn’t let it get them down. With the mercy rule firmly behind them, Storm stormed through their order and then some to put up a massive nine runs. Duran picked up his first triple of the season, and Storm managed to keep the ball in the park while adding up the runs.

The Crew was still in it, trailing by four with the top of the order up. However, Storm closed the door allowing only one run to hold on to win the first game of the season.
