Storm walks off Broadway

The opening act of the Storm-Broadway showdown was a high energy high scoring affair. Broadway opened the night with a six run mercy inning, including two home runs. Rene was fighting his command and his shirtsleeves as he paced around the mound throughout the inning. Storm was not dismayed, though, and matched Broadway stroke for stroke with a six run mercy inning,  including back to back home runs by Bob and Tony. 

The second saw a slight reduction in runs. Broadway scored four runs, but it could have been a lower scoring inning if Storm had been able to turn a double play. This time Storm managed to win the inning with five runs off mostly singles. 

Broadway was shut out in the third, but scored four in the fourth and Storm managed three in each inning to keep the fairly high scoring game going. It was 17-14 after four.

Then Act 2 began. While Act 1 was decidedly high scoring, Act 2 completely shifted tone. Storm’s bats stopped swinging and Storm was shut out in each of the fifth and sixth. Jeff managed to shit out Broadway in the fifth, but they scored two in the sixth meaning the game went into the seventh with Storm up one. Broadway managed to get that one run across tying the game.

The question became would Storm score, or would it end up a kissing cousin affair? Bob led off with a double making the comeback seem possible. Tony was then given a free pass to create a force play at every base. The climactic moment came when Sam ripped a single into left field and Bob scored from second on the final play.

Final Score: Storm 18 - Broadway 17
