2009 Oshawa Kicks Fundraiser

As most of you know my Daughter Jordan is playing Rep soccer this year. As part of the fundraising, they are holding a raffle. I only bring this to your attention because the prizes available are pretty good. I will bring some tickets with me to the next couple of games if anyone is interested. Click for more information.

Storm slams their way to a 20 to 8 Victory

With the help of 2 grand slams and another great night at the plate for the Storm we managed to power our way past the Falcons. Al's third multi Home Run game and 6 Rbi's helped the Storm overcome our defensive shortcomings. Thankfully most of our errors didn't comeback and hurt us to much. It was also the 2009 pitching debut of our lefty Ron, who managed to get though his two innings of work with only two pitches I bet he would want back. With the light show in right field and a steady and sometimes hard rain we did well last night for our 6th victory of the year. Fred you should have been there, but since you chickened out. The team voted last night and yes, your punishment will be another tailgate BBQ.

32 Hit Assault lifts Storm to a 24 - 7 Win over the Bradley Motors Shifters

The Storm was hitting at will last night and knocked out 32 hits two of them Home Runs by our juiced slugger Al. That makes 6 HR's in two games by Al. 3 guys hit 4 for 5 and Al went 5 for 5. All in all it was a great game both offensively and defensively. Matt now has his picture permently placed under the definition of the Buckner Award. The Can of Corn reared it's ugly head in the 7th inning, Thanks Mike, but he made a nice recovery and managed to get an out.

Al's Home Run's help Strom to a 24 - 19 Win over Direct Elevator

In what can only be described as a home run hitting demonstration, Al with his 4 HR's and 8 RBI's was the difference in the win over Direct Elevator. Like many of the past few games, it was a back and forth game that stayed close throughout. For the most part it was a well played game with quite a few well placed hits for both teams.

Tied Greenthumb 14 - 14

It was a back and forth affair last night, but in the end it was a draw against Greenthumb. A few miscues and a few timely hits contributed greatly in the result. All in all we did well to not give up and get the lead back in the 7th inning.
