Perfect Storm: Inglorious Batters Zapped in 5-Inning Lightning Shortened game

Storm faced off against the Inglorious Batters and the Inglorious Batters lived up to their name. Rene had found a new delivery and it worked so well Jeff got an off day as Rene carved up the Inglorious Batters’ lineup. It started with a three up three down inning and the Batters would only score three runs across the first five frames. There was a solo home run, but other than that Rene had their number (along with some pretty solid defense from the Storm).

The Storm didn’t have the same issues batting. They only managed one in the first and a pair in the second, but they brought the thunder in the third and put up a six spot. They added four in the fifth to take a commanding 13-3 lead.

The sixth inning saw some thunder and lightning, and not in the metaphorical sense. Distant rolls of thunder could be heard and the sky kept lighting up and the umpire declared that it wasn’t “worth it” to continue.
