Somerville Storm U14 split games last week with an extra inning win over Charlestown and a one run loss to Reading.

On Tuesday night, half-way into the season, the Storm grabbed their fourth win, equaling their win total from last season with a 9-8 win over Charlestown. The Storm gave a strong team effort behind the pitching of Jen Toner, who went the distance for the win. Eight of the Storm’s nine runs were scored by eight different players, with Emily O’Regan scoring twice. Amanda Grace went two for three driving in a pair of runs and Emily Woodman was a perfect three for three at the plate with a run scored.

On Wednesday night the Storm fell by one run to the Reading Red Devils, a team that is tied for third in the division with a 7-1 record.  After taking a 6-4 lead through the first two innings, the Storm managed only one more run through the final three frames and dropped the game by a score of 7-8.

Amolee Hawkins went the distance on the mound striking out ten and scattering four hits.  Amanda Grace continued her hitting streak going two for two with a walk and three runs scored. The Storm performed well at the plate striking out only four times in the game as a team, but Reading played strong defense and minimized the scoring opportunities.
