The Somerville Storm U14 increased their winning streak to three games this past week with a pair of wins over Belmont and Woburn.

After falling behind Belmont 3-0 in the first, Jen Toner took the mound and the Storm defense allowed only two runs in the next four innings to win the game 12-5.  The Storm defense recorded nine put outs in those four innings, anchored by solid shortstop play from Brianna Dell’Isola in the infield, Brenna Foristall in the outfield and a running catch at second by Dierdre Matthews to end the game.

Offensively, the Storm put the ball in play striking out only three times in fifteen outs over five innings and eight out of nine players scored runs, including three runs scored by Kayla O’Regan and two each from Amolee Hawkins and Emily O’Regan.

Wednesday’s game at Trum Field against Woburn was the opposite of Tuesday’s game against Belmont.  The Storm started the game up 13-3 with strong pitching from Amolee Hawkins who struck out eight batters in three innings before leaving the mound for the fourth and fifth innings.

Offensively, all nine batters in the Storm lineup scored runs in the first two innings, sparked by a 2/3 hitting performance from Emily Woodman.  Charolette Schofield scored twice and was on base all three at bats and Marissa Toner was also on base both times at bat with a run scored.

The two wins bring the 14U Storm record to 3-1 with a pair of games this week: Tuesday night at Trum Field against Lincoln-Sudbury Warriors at 6:15 and Wednesday on the road against the Pentucket River Dogs.
