Storm Clinch First Place

Storm and Greenthumb played a war of attrition on Monday night. Storm managed to cobble together a lineup of 10 players, but that included Zombie Bob who switched positions after one play because it required too much movement and hurt too much. The defence was also shuffled a little with some infield regulars roaming the outfield. 

Greenthumb had their lineup supplemented by two players from The Crew who had a vested interest in the outcome of the game as they needed Storm to lose to clinch first place themselves. Greenthumb started off well, scoring three in the top of the first. Storm thundered back in the bottom half of the inning. Duran launched a leadoff home run for the third straight game, which led to serious discussion over lineup construction. Storm would continue to strike lightning, scoring the max six without recording an out in the inning.

Greenthumb would get one in the second, but Joey made an incredible catch with a Go Go Gadget arm that extended to end the inning. He used his Go Go Gadget arm in the bottom half of the inning to get his own player out on a foul ball while catching for Greenthumb. Storm still scored four capped off by a triple from Rene. 

Storm’s bats contained more thunder throughout the night and they were able to muster more runs than they had in each of the previous three games en route to a 21-10 victory, and more importantly, clinching first place.
