Storm / Direct Elevator win Consolation Final in WMSPL Tournament

On a cool and most of the time cold windy weekend in May, The Storm / Direct Elevator paired up to win the consolation Final of the 2013 WMSPL Tournament. With cold wind gusts of up to 50km/hr blowing in all weekend from left center it took most of our bats out of play. But thanks to a lot of opposite field hitting, The Storm/Direct team were able to win 2 of four games and the second victory propelled them into the consolation final against the Devils/Rebel team. Who were too depleted after losing a few players to a wedding and other obligations to field a team for the final, therefore the Storm / Direct Elevator took the game in forfeit. Tournament Batting Statistics are up on Statleaders.com

Los Diablos Tormenta do well at WMSPL Tournament

Los Diablos Tormenta played well and were very close to be playing for the championship. With a 3 and 1 record they came up just a little short in there quest to avenge last years embarrassment at the WMSPL classic. The only loss came at the hands of CN Express on Friday night during a very wet and very long game. In the end Los Diablos Tormenta had to settle with with 3 pitchers of beer and 6 pounds of wings, which in the end sounds pretty good. Los Diablos Tormenta (The Devil's Storm) roster consisted of Storm Players (Joey, Bob, Dave, Mike T, Brad, Lance and Kevin) and St Louis Devils players( Duncan, Rich, Robin, Jay, Tom, and Scott)
