The Defensive Optional Invitational

The Storm absolutely brought the thunder in this one, turning the baseball field into a metaphorical slip-and-slide for The Expos. While the Expos tried to keep things interesting with a respectable 4-run burst in the 5th, the Storm responded by putting up a massive 10-spot in the 6th, essentially deciding that "mercy" wasn't in their vocabulary today.

Game Summary: The Defensive Optional Invitational
In a game where "pitching" was clearly more of a suggestion than a requirement, Storm absolutely dismantled The Expos with a final score of 29-10.
The Expos actually started with a pulse, putting up 3 runs in the first inning. Unfortunately, Storm responded by treating the baseball like a personal grievance, racking up 18 runs in the first three innings alone. By the time the 6th inning rolled around, Storm decided that 19 runs wasn't quite enough of a cushion and hung a casual 10-spot on the scoreboard just to be safe.
Player Highlights (or Lowlights):
  • Joey and Bob: These two were clearly playing a different game, combining for 6 runs and 8 RBIs. 
  • Rene: Went 4-for-4 and scored 4 times. Rene was basically living on the basepaths; the Expos should have started charging him rent.
  • Mills: He managed to strike out and have a sacrifice in the same game he hit a Grand Slam HR, proving that you can indeed do it all.
  • The Expos Pitching Staff: Currently in witness protection.
