Storm gloriously defeats Inglorious Batters

 Storm’s offense was on full display and an array of pitchers managed to minimize the Inglorious batting of their opponents as Storm went on to win 25-13. Storm maxed out their potential in multiple innings and had a comfortable lead for most of the game.

The lead was so comfortable that Rene asked if he could “essayer de lancer.” Turns out he didn’t just “essayez” he “reussi[d].” 

Most Storm batters had a glorious night, but there were some interesting things to note:

Duran hit a cycle that has the largest asterisk in the history of asterisks beside it. His first at bat he hit a high pop fly to right field that should have been a routine out but the outfielder overran it and Duran got the triple. In his second at bat he popped out to the catcher, but the catcher didn’t want to catch it and when you give Duran a second chance… he hit a solid double. Later in the game, with everything but the homer taken care of, Duran was in a predicament. Storm was plus 2. He needed to hit an inside the park home run. Not out of the question. He hit a hard line drive to centre field. The outfielder somehow let the ball get under his  glove and it went all the way to the fence. And Duran went all the way home. According to Duran, this gives him the longest consecutive game home run streak, at 9 games. Although that should also come with an asterisk.

Lance was also having an interesting day at the plate. For some reason he decided to bat left-handed. He took three good swings… and misses. A three swing swinging strikeout. In his next at bat he batted right handed and found Rene’s bat, and he launched a Lancer Beam home run. 

Storm is back to their winning ways. Hopefully they can stay in the win column.

Final Score: Storm 25 - Inglorious Batters 13
