Team Summaries Marauders Notes:
In a game filled with defensive gems and dominant pitching, the Storm held off a 6th inning rally by the home squad for the 5-3 victory.
Eli took home game ball with a spectacular catch on the run near the RF line in the 2nd and a key play on a hot shot to 2B in the 6th to keep hopes for a comeback alive.
The comeback attempt in the 6th was highlighted by an RBI triple by Eli with 2 outs, but a great throw and tag at the plate by the Storm defense ended the threat.
The Marauders pitching was top notch, including shutdown performances in the 4-6th innings. Great job today by starter Nico (sporting the Rollie Fingers 'stache!), El Duque, Nolan, and Joe.

Storm Notes:
The Storm jumped out to a quick lead; Butter singled in a run and stole another in the first. In the top of the second, Tiny wore a pitch, worked his way to third and then Caveman scored the runner like we do in BP. Meanwhile, Butter continued to earn his nickname, striking out 5 in two innings of work. The 6th out over that stretch was Skittles gunning down a Marauder attempting to steal second!

The Storm offense shut down in the final half of the game, but the pitching continued strong! Elmer and Tangerine threw two innings each, allowing just three runs. The defense sparkled behind them making 5 outs on balls in play!

Called Up: Butter
