Storm Tribute To Charlie Sheen Proves Heavy Hitter

The Storm may have lost on the field, but the sellout crowd of 5,083 fans who came to celebrate Charlie Sheen-co De Mayo Night at The Diamond proved a box office winner.

Fans in attendance received “Wild Thing” glasses worn by Sheen’s character Ricky Vaughn in the movie "Major League." Other promotions were a taco eating contest, and Sheen’s 99 number being retired and placed on the right field wall.

In anticipation of an appearance by Charlie Sheen, the fans were teased with a limo being driven onto the field. When the Limo door opened, out popped the most popular Storm member: Thunder. 

Though the Cinco De Mayo promotion was the main event, there was a baseball game played. Bakersfield defeated Lake Elsinore, 8-4, Thursday night.

The Storm continued  to struggle defensively, committing three errors. Starter Chris Fetter pitched three innings and took the loss.
