Basically the same title of our last recap vs Storm.

The top of the 1st saw Grandpa Beatty putting on a show for the fam, crushing a two run dinger, with the Falcons plating 4. We didn't win the inning though, with Storm plating 4 of their own including a 3 run dinger to make it 4-4. Pretty sure the Storm dinger was hit by Joey's kid, who I know as "Oh crap, not this guy", since that's what runs through Arbour's head whenever he comes up to bat, after hitting a dinger in our first PA a year or two ago lol.

The second saw some dinks and dunks and a Falcons two spot. A Storm delicious donut and it's 6-4 good guys after two. Falcons scored two again in the 3rd. I forget who it was, but someone from Storm hit another dinger as part of their 5 run 3rd, 9-8 formerly very orange team, now they're just kinda orange. Who else prefers their older jerseys?

The Falcons scored another two in the 4th, and won the inning over Storm's 1 one run sac fly, taking a slim lead at 10-9.

You know what, let's just skip right to the 7th. The good guys are down one. Labrecque and Arbour get on base with singles. The Taxman drives one home with an RBI single (I think, it wasn't marked, could've been a double?). Billy FCs Arbour over to third. Cowboy brings him home with a single. Alas, that was all the runs the Falcons could muster, moving into the bottom half of the 7thin a 13-13 tie.

It's the bottom three of the Storm batting order. Storm single, Storm single, runners on first and second. Mills comes to the plate hitless for the day, having joked about finally getting on base earlier pinch running for someone. Mills hits one just high enough to kiss off the top of a Falcons glove, and touch green for a hit. Run scores, game over, Falcons lose 14-13.
