Stormcrushers win, but suffer crushing loss of first place

 Stormcrushers put up a solid effort against Triple Play. It was a tightly contested defensive match in the first with each team scoring only one. In the bottom of the second, Storm scored six on singles. It's a good thing Storm got to the maximum, because Lance stared longingly at strike three saying, "I didn't think it would hit." In the end it didn't matter as Storm maxed out their offensive potential in the inning. 

Storm seemed to have used up all their offense in that inning, however, as they would only score one run across the next three innings. Triple Play scored one to bring it to an 8-7 game creating a lot of tension. 

Storm remembered how to hit enough two score two more opening up a three run lead, which Storm was able to hold on to. However, the win put them in a three way tie with Triple Play and Broadway. The first tie breaker was runs against, which meant Storm was two runs shy of first place with an at bat left. The first two batters got out, but Storm managed to get the two runs they needed on base before being retired. Storm settled for second and would face the long road to the championship to have any chance to win.
