A very tight win makes it twenty in a row

Storm came quickly out of the gate scoring 4 in the bottom of the first with some great hitting.

The second inning Storm went 3 up 3 down after Bradley scored 1.

In the third inning Storm played some small ball to score 5 runs with Brian getting a 2 RBI base hit.

Storm would score only 3 more runs the rest of the way, while Bradley shifted in gear in the top of the 7th.  Making it interesting they scored 6 runs in the inning coming to within one of the lead but ultimately falling short.

It was a very quick, well played game by both teams.  Defensively Bradley shined and despite having only 3 outfielders made it one of the tightest games Storm has played all year.

Final score 12-11

Storm wins in a squeaker

After holding the A's to only one run in the top of the first, Storm answered back with two run shot off the bat of Joey.

The top of the second inning saw an offensive outpouring by the A's as they scored 7 runs on 3 long balls.

Storm answered back with Greg this time hitting a deep 3 run shot to left field making it 8-5 for the A's after two innings.

Both teams were held scoreless in the third, and A's added 4 more in the top of the fourth to make it 12-5.

Storm would answer back with a 3 run HR to deep left center by James.  Dave would start things off with a double and Jeff and Kevin would add hits of their own.  The A's elected to walk Joey to loaded the bases for Bob who made them pay in a big way by smacking a no doubter grand slam to right center making it 14-12 Storm after four.

Storm held the A's scoreless in the top of the fifth while adding one of their own in the bottom half.

In the 6th the A's mustered up 1 run and Joey answered back in the bottom with a 3 run shot.

The A's made things interesting with 3 runs in the top of the 7th but Al was able to lock it down for the win.

Storm keeps cruising

In the second inning another two out rally started with Jeff.  Joey topped it off with a 3 run bomb and Bob hit back to back with a solo shot.

In the third Storm put up 4 more runs as they started to take the foot off the gas and would cruise the rest of the way to a relatively easy win.

Storm had sound defense and solid pitching once again in this one.

Another slugfest

Once again Storm came out flat putting up a goose egg in the first inning.

After Coulas put up a 5 spot in the 2nd inning Storm answered back with 2 runs of their own with RBI singles by Kenny and Al.

Coulas would put up 3 more runs making it 9-3 going into the bottom half of the inning.

Storm answered back with a 7 run frame, capped off by a Bob Grand Slam.

Storm continued the offense in the 4th inning with 11 runs, led by a bases clearing double by Brian.

After shutting the Coulas bats down Storm got back on the sticks for 5 more runs and then 6 more the next inning.

Once more top to bottom the entire team hit well.  The defence was solid and the best catch of the night was made by neither team, but by a fan in center field who snagged a line drive home run.

Final score 29-12

Storm stays hot as they take both games of the doubleheader

Storm once again started the game with a Jeff single and Duran triple and scored 2 runs in the first.  Xtreme came out quickly with a 5 run bottom half. 

The second inning saw the first two batters get out.  Greg started a two out rally with Lance and Brad following him getting on and then James crushing a 2 run shot.

Xtreme quickly answered with 4 of their own in what looked like the makings of a slugfest. 

Duran led the 3rd inning off with a triple and Kevin cashed him in followed by Joey with a 2 run HR.   They would score 4 total in the frame and hold Xtreme scoreless in the bottom half making it 11-9 after 3.

In the 4th inning Storm hit singles down the line until Bob hit a 3 run HR giving Storm 7 runs in the inning and taking an 18-9 lead.  

In the 5th the highlight of the inning was a Lance 2 run triple scoring Brian and Greg. 

Storm would hold Xtreme to 2 more runs over the next 3 innings while adding 2 more runs of their own.
