A Hit to the Head, leads to a Strong Finish for The Storm in this comeback victory

The Inglorious Batters batted gloriously through the first three innings of the game. They put up four runs in the first and then hit two majestic home runs in the second to add another five runs. Storm managed three in the first, but none in the second trailed 9-3 after 2 innings. Inglorious Batters continued batting brilliantly in the third with their third home run of the game (and the season) adding four more runs in the third. Duran hit a Han Solo and Storm added three, but trailed 13-6 after three innings. 

Storm finally stopped the bleeding with a three up three down inning in the fourth, and added two to pull within five. The Inglorious Batters scored two and  Storm was unable to get any runs so it was 15-8 after four.

The tides shifted in the sixth. Storm set the Batters down in order, and Joey, Mills, and Tony all hit dingers as Storm scored five runs and pulled to within two. Duran launched a three run home run and Storm scored five taking an 18-15 lead. Time was now of the essence, and Storm needed to record three outs in a few minutes before the inning reverted. After walking the first batter, Jeff settled down and Storm was able to get out of the inning giving up only one run. 

Storm really used their heads on both sides of the ball to win the game. Mills used his head literally. We’re glad there was a concussion specialist on hand to help out and Mills was cleared to continue. The team did a good job holding it together. After two consecutive losses and falling behind early, Storm could have gotten down on themselves, but they stayed in the game and kept playing as a team.
