Storm return to Form

Storm was back in form on Wednesday night against Greenthumb. After a rough first inning Storm took the lead in top of the 2nd. Then, some excellent defense helped squelch a Greenthumb attack as Kenny threw out a runner at second from the fence, and then Joey relayed the throw home for a second out. Just your traditional 9-6-2 doubleplay!

In the top of the 3rd the bats absolutely exploded for a ten run inning, and Mike and Al and the Storm defense closed the door on any Greenthumb offense. The Storm offense kept the pressure on in the 4th with 7 more runs, and then a final 6 run inning put the nail in the coffin. Greenthumb seemed to have given up, as they went down one two three in the bottom of the inning.

Great game Storm!

It’s Not 2015 Again

While Storm has played well most games, it’s clearly not going to be another 2015. Storm has lost more games in the first six weeks of the season than in the entire season last year.

On this night, though, the A’s outplayed Storm in every aspect of the game. They out-pitched, out-hit, and out-fielded the Storm, and came away with a much deserved victory.

Storm Rallies over Bradley

It was a very tight game with Bradley. After the first four innings, the game was tied 5-5. Storm took the lead in the 5th, and absolutely exploded in the sixth to take the lead and not look back.


The highlight of the game was definitely Duran’s cycle.
