Inglorious Implosion for Storm

Captain Kangaroo was looking a lot like Captain Underpants through the first four innings of the game against the Inglorious Batters. He breezed through their lineup the first time around, and got them to hit home run outs, keeping the damage to only six runs through four innings. The defense was also solid with Mills closing the gaps in the outfield and the infield making some nice plays and staying with bobbled balls to make outs instead of errors. 

The offense was good in the second as Storm stacked hit upon hit and maxed out the inning. Storm led 8-6 going into the 5th.

There was going to be a pitching change in the 5th, but Joey had been hopping along almost effortlessly, so Jeff said what would go down as fatal words. “Are you sure you want to stop?” Joey grabbed the ball and the wheels came off as the Inglorious became batters and Storm stopped making the tough plays giving up six runs.

There was no steam left in the Storm’s power engines as they couldn’t muster any runs, even with Mills’s mustard inspired bat. Lance did his best to keep the forward momentum going. Maybe with too much forward momentum as he stumbled into the fence behind home plate like Storm stumbled in the back half of the game.

Final Score: Inglorious Batters 12 - Storm 8
