A long road trip did not end well for the Simpson Storm Baseball squad as they were swept in a four game series with conference foe Luther including two heartbreaking losses heard live on AM 1320 and FM 95.3 KNIA. After getting blown out on Friday with a combined score of 30-6, the games on Saturday were much closer, game one would be a 1-0 shutout in which the Storm were no-hit by the Norse. Game two was a much closer affair, Simpson would explode with three first inning runs off a two run double by catcher Bud Smith, and would hold their lead until the 9th inning where disaster struck. Four straight hit batsman would walk in the tying run, and immediately after the walk off single would cost Simpson the game and the series. The Storm fall to 8-19 and 5-11.
