Storm was awfully short handed (or was it short legged) against the Expos. They were so short handed/legged that they had to make some roster moves, reinstating the no longer bionic man much earlier than anticipated.
Storm didn’t miss a beat, and neither did Bob AKA the Palindrome, as he swung at the first pitch he saw and knocked a double. Everyone was hitting for Storm as they scored six in the first without giving up a single out. In the second, Storm recorded one out (a sacrifice fly) en route to another six run mercy.
The Expos figured out that innings end faster when they get outs, and they started recording some. Not as quickly as they would have liked, though as Storm went on to beat them 24-8.
Some interesting notes:
Bob was back and looked like his old self, making a couple of nice plays in the outfield and swinging at the first pitch his first few at bats. Then something strange happened. Bob took two pitches and fouled one off and ended up seeing four pitches in an at bat. There were no pigs flying. We sent Scoops to see if Hell was frozen over, but he hasn’t returned.
Mills had an incredible game in the outfield. He was moving so quickly it actually looked like he was standing still and the ground was moving beneath him. Every player had to check to see if Mills was right behind them every time a ball was in the air.
Cycle watch:
Duran, as usual, was chasing the cycle, but it was Mills who actually accomplished the feat. Of special note here, though, is both players hit solo home runs in their quest for cycles.
Storm 24 - Expos 8
