September 4-5

Wednesday lunch with Jenny and her mother, in the evening at the ballpark the Stormers and Ducks met up for game #2. The Stormers went up 1-0 on Gaige Howard's RBI single in the first, after Long Island tied it in the second the Good Guys went back ahead on a Damon Dues base hit to lead 2-1. In the fourth the game fell apart, the Ducks scored five runs and added two each in the sixth and seventh to take a 10-2 lead. The Stormers got one back in the sixth on a Long Island error, Trace Loehr's solo home run in the ninth brought the final to 10-4. Noah Bremer suffered the loss with Adam Wibert, Steffon Moore, Kyle Johnson and A.J. Alexy mopping up in relief. The series wrapped up on Thursday with the Stormers rebounding in a major way. The ballclub put four on the board in the fourth on Joseph Carpenter's RBI single, a Gaige Howard run-scoring triple and a Mason Martin two-run home run, three more came home in the seventh on Howard's three-run home run. In the eighth Martin launched his second round-tripper to put the bow on an 8-0 win but the offense was only half the story. On the mound Oscar De La Cruz worked seven innings of two-hit ball for the decision allowing just four baserunners, the Ducks only had one other baserunner against Phil Diehl in the ninth. The ballclub spends the weekend on the road, the season's final week begins at home on Tuesday the 10th. Take care, thanks for reading.
