Storm lose both ends of the doubleheader

Triple Play took an early lead scoring six in the top of the first. Storm tried to keep the damage at bay keeping Triple Play off the scoreboard in the second and third, but only managed four runs through the first three frames and still trailed 6-4. Triple Play opened it up in the top of the fourth, scoring another six runs. If that wasn’t bad enough, the fifth inning was open and Triple Play took advantage of it to score eight. 

Storm started to find some offence in the bottom of the sixth. They scored five bringing their total to 11. Triple Play wouldn’t score again, but their 20 runs were more than enough (more than Storm scored in both games of the doubleheader actually). Storm will have to find their bats soon, or postseason problems could arrive!

Regular season problems could arrive. Storm needs one more win to avoid playing on Friday night and they need to win four of their last seven to clinch first place. Until Sunday, these things seemed certain, but now…

In other news, Mills hurt himself sliding into second when his run literally didn’t matter. It looked like it could be serious, but he moved pretty quickly trying to get to the wings after the game, so apparently he will not have to spend any extended time on the IL.
