Storm maximized their potential through the first four innings of Wednesdays game scoring a staggering 24 runs in four innings. Our statisticians are digging through the scoresheets as we speak, but we are fairly certain it has never happened before. Of course, after scoring the maximum six runs in each of the first four innings, Storm scored none in the fifth, and only one in the six, but the first 24 were more than enough to hold on to the win.
Highlights/Lowlights: Sam showed up in the shortest shorts you’ll see on a diamond. His legs were nearly as white as the shorts and the glare was blinding. This may have accounted for some of Coulas’s struggles hitting. The boy who harnessed the light was blinding the batters from the outfield.
Storm found new ways to minimize home runs. Usually Storm just witnesses selfish solo home runs, but in this game, Storm hit multiple home runs with runners on base where only one run counted because Storm had reached the maximum number of runs per inning.
Storm had such a large lead going into the final inning, the outfielders moved into the infield and the infielders moved to the outfield except for Brian, who held tightly to first base, and Jeff who moved to pitcher because Al claimed he was exhausted from all the pitches he had thrown. Either Jeff was jealous because the only ball hit to third in the game was hit in the inning Ken was playing third, or he really didn’t trust the outfielder’s in the infield, but he ended up making all three outs. The first was a grounder to Brian, who scooped it and tossed it to Jeff covering first. The next two batters hit ground balls to Jeff who threw to Brian, effectively keeping the outfielders from handling any balls.
Overall, it was a solid game on both sides of the ball. Storm now gets a nice long rest before their next game.
Storm 25 - Coulas 3
