So Now we are only playiong at 8pm on Friday August 10th against The Brew Crew.

Storm Surges Past Surge

Storm got off to a slow start last night. It all started with Bob’s longest single ever. He started his home run trot just to have the ball go off the top of the fence. Surge Surged ahead 7-4 after the first three innings. Storm was a little generous with some dropped balls, but Surge also hit well, and they took the early lead. The 4th inning was the turning point as Storm surged ahead with an 8 run inning. After this Storm never looked back and went on to a 27-16 victory.

Game Highlights: Al hit a grand slam, James got his first home run of the season in his first game of the season, and Boom Boom "Jeff"rion struck again, and this time it counted.  In the last inning, Bob finally got to do his home run trot, all the way to K2 to collect his ball. Joey also hit a home run once Storm was up by double-digits.

Storm starts strong; swings its way to victory

Storm started strong as they batted through the order and then some in the top of the first. Mayhem put up a valiant effort, and had an inning where they batted through the order as well, and closed the gap to 16-9. However, Storm was just too strong top to bottom, and kept putting up crooked numbers throughout the game on the way to a 28-13 victory.

Notable offensive stats:

Jeff – 4/6, 2 runs, 2RBI and a grand slam that didn’t count because the team was already up two home runs

Brad – 4/6, 2 runs, 4 RBI

Joey, 6/6, 2 runs, 6RBI, and a selfish solo HR 

Bob – 3/6, 3 runs, 3 RBI, 1 HR and a 2nd that didn’t count because of Joey’s selfishness; Bob was also a double shy of the cycle

Al – 4/5 1 run, 1 RBI

Lance – 2/4, 3 runs

Duran – 3/5, 2 runs, 2 RBI

Brian – 4/5, 2 runs, 4 RBI

Greg – 2/5, 4 runs

Kenny – 3/5 – 4 runs, 1 RBI

Mike – 5/5, 3 runs, 4 RBI; Mike is also 8/8 in the last two games, and is 11/12 across the last four games

The hitting continues

It was another big hitting night top to bottom as once again Storm piled on the runs early.

 After a 7 run first inning and adding 3 more in the second Joey decided this wasn't enough of a cushion. In what is quickly becoming a trend he refused to take his foot off the gas and smoked one over the right field wall to put the team up 13-1.

 The rest of the lineup hit well. Dave went 5/5 with 4 RBI's and Duran went 5/5 with 4 runs scored. 

The defence played great and Mike pitched a fantastic game with Al closing it out.

 Final: 26-10
 Storm now holds an 8-1 record with an eye popping +90 Run differential.
 Their 175 runs scored is ahead of the next best team by 45 runs.

Make it 3 in a row!

Everything was clicking tonight. The defence was strong and Mike pitched a great game. It was tight early on as Mayhem made it a close game but in the 4th inning Storm poured it on scoring an 11 run inning. The offense was led by Joey with 2 Hr's and 8 RBI's, a long HR by Bob, and Duran going 6/6. Top to bottom the team hit well and look to keep it rolling Sunday for their doubleheader. Final score 27-10.

Hitting Machine

Final Score: Storm 27 - Mayhem 8

Tight defence by both teams!

It was a well played, well pitched game from the get go by both teams.  The scoring was kept down in what seemed more like a baseball game than a softball game.  In the end the storm managed to drive in 5 runs which proved to be enough to hold on.

Final Score: Storm 5 - Mayhem 3

All good things must End!!

"The bat's went ice cold as the storm lost a close one against Mayhem.  A few bloop hits and a grand slam was enough for Mayhem to take the lead and hold on to it as their infield played great defense.  The Storm look to start a new streak next week.

Final Score: Mayhem 8 - Storm 4

Mother Nature wins again

Mother Nature once again reared her ugly head last night washing away our double header makeup games against Mayhem and Xtreme. It would appear that these two games were not meant to be. Maybe third time will be the charm.

Another come from behind victory!

I wasn't at the game last night but from an eyewitness account it was a nice result on a tough fielding night. Mayhem was up by 3 runs heading into the bottom of the 7th. That's when the Storm bats came to life and scored 4 runs to take the victory.

Final Score: Storm 10 - Mayhem 9

Mother Nature 4, Storm 3

The Sky's opened up again for a few hours prior to our game and flooded the fields once again. Better luck on Friday night hopefully.

Game 1 done

The Storm and Mayhem played a close game for  4 innings, but in the bottom of the 5th inning Al belted a Grand-slam HR to break this one open and in the end the Storm defeated Mayhem 14 to 7.

Nice all round win !!

The pitching was great, the hitting was good and the fielding was good enough for the Storm to take this one against Mayhem. Final Score 12 to 6, and that's with giving up 4 unearned runs in the 7th inning

Storm scores more than 4 Runs !!!!

Another low scoring game, but we did manage to break the four run mark for the first time in 4 games. Final score 7 to 2.

The Bats were out last night !!!

The first few innings were close, then the Storm's bats opened up in a big way. We put up 17 runs in the 4th inning sending 23 batters to the plate, we scored all these runs without a home run in that inning. After that it was base to base for the most part and in the end the Storm defeated Mayhem 24 to 4.

Nice!

This game was close throughout, but in the end the Storm scored 2 runs that Mayhem could not answer. Make the final 10 to 8 for the Storm

Storm shut-out Mayhem

With Hurricane Irene off to the east of us, a strong wind was blowing in all game and kept this game honest, Bob gave it a try in the third but had no luck, the wind knocked his ball down well short of the right field fence. Good defense by both teams kept this game very close. The Storm manufactured a few runs on some timely hitting and good base running. Make the final 4 - 0.

STORM FACTS
Shutout's since 2004 - 2
last shutout victory - June 9th 2010 vs Greenthumb (12 - 0)

A Sunday to Forget

Back to Back defeats. Lost the first game 21 to 13 to Mayhem then lost 20 to 8 to Greenthumb, in the 3rd inning of this one Greenthumb scored 15 runs, our worst inning ever

Storm Squeeze out victory in the bottom of the 7th

In a game that had the Storm down 6 nothing after a half inning, we were lucky to stay in this game. Mayhem had their own up's and downs, with one of those ups being a mammoth HR to deep deep centre field( Cleared the light pole in Centre field). Good news for the Storm was a missed play by Mayhem in the 7th that allowed us to score the winning run. We'll take it, god knows we give enough of those away. Make the final 12 - 11.
