Storm down Triple Play in the 7th

 Storm bats started strong with 9 runs in  the first two innings. Sam got himself in some trouble with a big swing-and-miss for the second strike, but he didn't panic and he drove the next ball out of the park. 

Duran hit a hard line drive that skimmed the top of the fence and Storm was plus two in home runs.

Triple Play got their bats going in the third scoring five and pulling to within two.  Storm then got cold and put up three zeroes in a row. Triple Play tied it up in the bottom of the sixth making for a very suspenseful seventh inning.

Storm's prospects didn't look good as the first two batters got out, but Mills took a walk and Duran poked a line drive through the infield, and Storm remembered how to hit. Three consecutive hits and Storm was up four.

Triple Play loaded up the bases with only one out and needing four to tie. Their strategy of ground balls to short with Joey playing deep had worked, but the next ground ball was a little too soft and a little too short. Jeff was able to cut it off and throw it home for the second out of the inning. After a ball off the back of the board and a foul ball, Jeff spun a ball short and outside that was fouled off for a game-ending strikeout. Storm held on for the 15-11 win.

Final Score: Storm 15 - Triple Play 11
