Storm Overpowered by the Crew

Good day sports fans! 

Scoops Jockovitch intrepid sport reporter here with your incredibly infrequent reports on your favourite team named after a climatological event. 

Monday night saw a battle of the titans with the  first place Brew Crew hosting our lads. This game had many side notes:the travelling prairie Frenchman had returned and was busy picking his fantasy football team. The Big D had Spray-ned his ankle running into a fence (better than his face, some would say) And finally the aging rookie pitcher would be facing a top team for the first time. 

None of these side stories would end well my friends. 

Storm scored 3 in the first with the Crew  tying it by being very pitch selective. 

Who says you shouldn’t swing at a ball 3 ft off the plate? The Lancerbeam led off with double in the second and the General spanked a 2 run HR. The Prez doubled and the Gimp brought him home with a single and the Storm had doubled their lead. 

It is at this point avid readers, that the wheels fall off, the barn doors are blown open and any other similar metaphor for things going to hell takes place. Our consistently inconsistent, rookie pitcher, was very inconsistently, consistent in not hitting the plate. Walks o’ plenty, solid hits and some questionable defence lead to two innings in a row of the brew crew maxing out.   

Our boys tried to keep pace with a 5 in the 3rd and 3 in the 4. But even when the Ace came in to pitch  in the fourth, he could not slow the demonic scoring of those punky Brewsters. Going into the 5th it was 14-21 crew. The Storm were a quick 1,2,3 in the 5th. Luckily the Ace shut out the Punkies as well. The 6th saw powdered donuts for the orangemen, while Brewsters millions plated a single. 

Last chance in the 7th for The Storm was like the beaches of Iwo Jima with nobody coming home. 

Make the final 22-14. Let’s hope our boys can change their fate and lock up a few more wins. Knock on wood. Or just hit the wooden plate a bit more. This is has been Scoops Jokovich intrepid sports reporter.

Final Score: The Crew 22 - Storm 14
