Storm Attempt to Avoid Sweep in Lancaster Tuesday Night
The Storm attempt to avoid being swept on the road Tuesday night, as they face the Jethawks at Clear Channel Stadium in Lancaster.
In game one of the three-game series, the Storm sent starter Mike Watt to the hill. Watt lasted four innings allowing six runs off 10 hits in a no decision.
After going down 6-0, the Storm were as resilient as ever, scoring six over the next three innings to tie the game.
Lancaster would post one in the bottom of the sixth inning to take the lead back. Down 7-6 the Storm still had a shot at coming back until the Jethawks scored five in the bottom of the eighth inning to win the game by a core of 12-6.
Game two was a little different of a story. Starter Jerry Sullivan would pitch one of his best games of the year, going six innings and allowing two runs, one earned, off seven hits while walking one and striking out three.
The Storm offense would find it's groove as well scoring all seven of the teams runs in the first six innings. However, the Storm bullpen would find itself a little out of sync as they gave up the lead and the game allowing Lancaster to score five in the bottom of the seventh to tie the game.
Lancaster would eventually get the win in the tenth, after a walk and an error allowed the Jethawks to sacrifice fly the winning run home from third.
The Storm take on the Jethawks in the third and final game tonight. To listen to the play-by-play with Storm radio broadcaster Sean McCall, tune in to K-Frog 92.9FM.
