Ladywhips Baseball Shaun Major

Belated publication with a special guest announcer

In which Lisa chickens out; Michelle plays somewhere for the first time; there are lots of discussions about balks; Anney has a new glove; Trav has a too well-worn move; a pitcher covers first; Caitlin eventually stamps the right spot; Ciara’s bat keeps making it look effortless; as does Molly’s glove; Trav monsters; as does Michelle; but Caitlin is unlucky; Steph gets fired up; but Anney is ready; Steph collects bruises; Richelle is unlucky; Michelle can run in plastic; Trav loses some sticky; & Caitlin blacks out.

In which Annie gets very very nervous (& then has cause to be); there is much discussion about spray charts (which Steph then ignored); Caitlin cannot read a signal (but executed her thing perfectly); after she gets her uniform dirty; Anneliese gets one in exactly her spot; Molly is everywhere (fortunately); Ella makes the adjustment; Anneliese does not; Sophie find it hard to with the left hander; Trav start doing it all herself; & inspires Molly to do the same; Caitlin can’t miss; Trav can’t be caught; & Sophie lives with her changeup.

In which boys selfishly do too much digging; Ciara doesn’t need sunglasses; Molly finds some footing (at least initially); Trav’s timing is way off; Michelle’s is not; Steph is robbed as Shaun is misunderstood; Ciara is robbed of an in-the-park; Caitlin’s arm gets the yips; Molly can’t find footing; Chasey is played by the infield; the Kelmscott disease recurs; Monica threads a needle; Trav has good instincts; Sophie’s are even better and she has the arm to match; Trav takes the collision but there is niggle; Steph falls asleep on duty; Ciara though does not; Ciara steadies; Michelle is fired up; Caitlin is spiked but stoic; Monica leads off again; Trav cops one; Michelle delivers (without getting hit); Caitlin is fired up; Ciara’s hands are safe; Steph does her job but Ciara is desperately unlucky; Anney celebrates a birthday; Richelle finally finds where she needs to stand; & Shaun causes unnecessary confusion for Janice.

In which Amelie gets grounded and very few people’s days improve from there …
