(Summerside, PE) The Summerside STORM rode the 3 point shooting of Chris Cayole and a couple of double-doubles from Antonio Ballard and Brandon Robinson to grab a little breathing room atop the tough Atlantic Division of the NBL with a 114-97 win over the Saint John Mill Rats Friday night at Harbour Station in Saint John.
Cayole shot 6-7 from the 3 point line tonight to score 23 points while Ballard had 23 points and 18 rebounds with Robinson scoring 22 and grabbing 10 rebounds. Jerice Crouch of Saint John led all scorers with 28 points in a losing cause.
