Having locked up the #1 playoff seed and the big fat cheque that goes along with it, Storm took the field against the Falcons on Sunday night with nothing to play for. The Falcons gave them nothing to play against. A 27-11 drubbing gave the Storm the season sweep of the Falcons, and sent the Falcons faithful home disappointed.

The game started off promising for the Falcons, as the first 6 batters reached base, including a bases clearing grand slam by Big Cat. Storm answered right back with 6 of their own in the bottom half to tie it up.

Two more for the visitors in the top of the second gave them back the lead, but a snow man for Storm right after that sent the Falcons bats into hiding. Nothing but delicious doughnuts for the Falcons until the sixth when One-out went deep with two aboard, and offensively, that was it.

Of the six rostered Falcons listed on the team page as outfielders, 5 had signed out of this game. I wish I could say that having three infielders playing on the grass made a difference.

Storm scored in every inning but the fourth, running their record to 34-2.

The Falcons still have an outside shot at the #2 playoff seed, but they'll need to win out and get some help. A lot of help.

Pregame Checklist:
Enough players to field a team?
Bats?
Score sheet?

Cycle Watch: The last time a Falcon hit for the cycle was May 19, 2010. Don't even ask about today.

Game Notes: By going 0 for 4, SLF snapped his 17 on-base streak... Team chemistry needs a boost prior to the playoffs...
