Lake Elsinore, CA- The Lake Elsinore Storm scored early and used great starting pitching to down Inland Empire (10-22) 6-1 at the Diamond on Tuesday. The loss snapped the Sixers longest win-streak of the season at four games and dropped Inland Empire to 2-16 against the California League's Southern Division.
The Storm scored two runs in the first against IE starter Alex Klonowski (1-6) when Franmil Reyes tagged his second homer of the season with a man aboard. Lake Elsinore (14-18) would add a run in the second on Josh VanMeter's RBI single and two more in the fourth when 18-year-old 2B Luis Urias drilled a two-run triple down the left field line. The Storm capped their scoring in the seventh against IE reliever Dixon Llorens when Edwin Moreno knocked in a run with a two-bagger.
