Theres an old saying that is thrown around at times at sporting events. When one team really starts to pile up runs, you may hear someone say When it rains, it pours. Beast Black made this statement into a fact as they mounted a comeback in the late innings against LI Storm and kept on adding more runs to make the game into a blowout by the time it ended.
Matt Lombardo and Beast Black drew first blood with an RBI Infield single to make it 1-0 Beast in the top of the second inning.
LI Storm responded with a big four run bottom half of the second inning. A passed ball allowed Xavier Genao to score and tie the game. Jake Silver had the big hit in the inning for the Storm as he ripped a 2 run RBI double to right field, giving his team a 3-1 lead. The very next batter, Marco Lazo, would drive in Silver on an RBI single up the middle to give the Storm a 4-1 Lead.
Beast would get a run back in the third on a Peter Disano bloop single that was just out of the reach of the first baseman to cut the lead in half, but LI Storm would hold Beast to just that in the third.
LI Storm pushed it back to a 3 run lead with an RBI groundout by Liam Mijares to make it 5-2
Just when Beast Black looked out of it, they would respond with a big fourth inning to tie the game. Jason Schultz got it started with an RBI triple to make it 5-3. Schultz would score on a wild pitch to make it 5-4. Anthony Campagnone scored the tying run on a passed ball for Beast Black.
In the fifth, Max Dehinno would give Beast Black the lead with a clutch 2 run double, making it a 7-5 lead for Beast Black.
Beast Black poured it on in the sixth. Cole Palmieri scored on a botched pickoff attempt to make it 8-5, Matt Lombardo knocked in a run on an RBI Groundout to make it 9-5. John Danisi makes it 10-5 with an RBI infield single. Cayden Hereth pushes Beast Blacks lead to 8 runs as he hits a 3 run home run to make it 13-5 Beast. RJ Merkle made it 14-5 on an RBI fielders choice and that would be all the scoring in this game.
