Jankowski got off to a bit of a slow start, but he is now hitting .273. On the mound, Matt Wisler was sharp; he would have got the win had the bullpen not surrendered a run.

Joe Ross – SP: 6.0 IP, 3H, 0ER, 0BB, 4K (W, 1-1)

Notes: Lots of good things to report about the Storm today. Joe Ross bounced back from his last start and tossed a gem with 6 scoreless innings. Ross didn’t walk a batter and only allowed 3 hits. It was also nice to see Hunter Renfroe smack 3 hits and Alberth Martinez continue his torrid start with another home run and his 9^th, 10^th, and 11^th RBI’s. Every member of the Storm lineup had at least 1 hit.
