Rebels couldn't match Storms' Fury

It was a high scoring game last night with the Storm coming out on top 24 to 17 over the Rebels and two well picked CN Express players. The Storm built up an impressive 20 to 7 lead over the Rebels but they did not give up and with the power of 3 home runs, which includes one by each of the CN Express players managed to get themselves right back in the game. Goes to show you that no lead is safe in this league especially against a good hitting team like the Rebels.

No Joey, No Poblem ! Storm win 13 - 6


Even without the leagues MVP in the lineup, the Storm beat CN Express 13 to 6 in the Storms best defensive game of the year. It was the first game all year that no Awards were given out for any excellent or outstanding plays on the field. The storm came out of the blocks fast in this one, scoring 7 runs in the first. Al had 2 K's on his way to earn the 17th victory of the year for the Storm.

Devils double up Storm 10 to 5

It wasn't a pretty display of hitting by the Storm last night as they managed only a few hits here and there. Al's 3 run home run in the sixth was the only hit that made this game respectable. It was the first game in over seven years that the Storm played with less than nine Storm players in a game. The Storm called up Junior from the Falcons and Wayne from Greenthumb to help out, as we had 8 signouts for this game. Both played well and the Storm team thanks them for coming out. Payback against the Devils will take place on August 9th.

Storm edges out Falcons 16 - 12

A nine run 3rd for the Storm was the difference in this game. It was a well played game on both sides with very few errors. Matt had a three run home run to cap a very good third inning. The Falcons had 4 three run innings but just couldn't get enough runs back in the end, and came up short. Make the final Storm 16 and Falcons 12. The season series is now in the Storms favor with a 2 to 1 advantage. Circle Aug 30th. on your calendar as it is the next time these two teams play, should be a good one.
