Mike Watt-SP: 5.0 IP, 3 hits, 3 BB, 1 ER, 7 K’s

Notes: Call him Dustin Moseley; because Mike Watt’s 3 hit gem went unrewarded by his offense. After scattering three hits over 6 innings, Watt only gave up a run on a fielder’s choice in the fourth inning. Jonathan Galvez’s throwing error plated a run in the bottom of the eighth, dooming The Storm who managed only 3 hits all night. The second night in a row The Storm were limited to such a number. Reymond Fuentes’ hitting streak came to an end at 7.
