Storm set the tone early with a six run mercy to start the game. Storm then scored in every frame, including a five run fifth on their way to a 22-9 victory.
Almost everyone contributed to the offensive onslaught. Mills had been eating his wheaties and went 5 for 6. He also played very solid outfield, covering most of the field. In the final frame he made all three outs without hardly having to move.
Joey hopped along at short with some nice plays, and got four hits. Duran started off strong in his bid for his ___th cycle of the season (we’ve stopped keeping track. He hit a three run blast in the first, a double in the second, and a single in the third. After getting the hard one out of the way (the single is the hard one for Duran, he struggled with the one everyone else struggles with, and ended a triple short of the cycle.
Kraig lived up to his alternative spelling and struck out, but he also hit a home run making him a true outcome player. Al pitched a gem of a game and added three solid hits. Jeff made a couple of nice plays at third and went 3 for 3 while hitting two sacrifice flies. Lancer Beam has clearly sacrificed a goat (or a daughter?) as he went 4 for 5./
Sam I am started looking like he is in line to inherit the Pilkey dynasty. After a number of frustrating at bats Sam I Am, Looked a little more like his father as he went 4 for 5 and drilled his first home run of the season. Of course, Sam is his own man, so he hits pull instead of his dad. Between the two of them they have been peppering the foul territory on both sides of the field.
Kevin made a couple of nice catches in the outfield and got a couple of hits. Brian did his best High Jackman impression, as he was the lone X-Man of the evening being retired in every at bat, but he played a solid first base.
Storm 22 - Falcons 9
