Storm loses clash of the WMSPL Titans

 Storm and Crew played in a pitcher's duel in the first game on Sunday night. The Crew scored a pair in each of the first three innings, which was miraculously enough to be up 6-3. Scotty was throwing a gem and struck out Renee who was suffering from some ennui after his return from Paris (read it the French way to make the sentence sound better). Renee struck out swinging at a pitch that hot the matt. In a show of incredible fraternity, Duran decided to make Renee feel better and struck out as well (though his was a foul out). 

Storm was unable to muster much offense and The Crew played tight defence to hold on to a 13-8 victory. There were two highly questionable calls at second. Mills clearly threw a runner out at second from centre, so the team was in shock when the umpire called safe. Then the game ended on Lance sliding into second and being called out, though it looked like the tag was late.


It was unlikely those calls would have made much difference, but they added to  the frustration of the evening.

The Crew 13 - Storm  8
