The Storm managed to pull off two victories Saturday 16-7 and 15-8 to advance to a showdown with Inverness Little League in the semi finals where the Storm won on a walk off 9-8. David Penn the manager of the Storm said these kids have worked tirelessly to get an opportunity to compete and the outcome showed just how hard they have been working. Penn also added that he and his coaching staff are tough on these kids not just to be better baseball players but to be better young men. There is a huge emphasis on handling their business off the field and not just on the field.
