Hell


This is the circle of hell known as (20th ranked) North Central.  Clare led off the second inning of game one with a double off her high school teammate Vlasta; the two of them have been going at it since forever.  Alyssa followed with another double and scored on a single.  The score was 2-1 Elmhurst going into the bottom of the seventh inning.

The first batter for North Central made an out; the second was down in the count before singling.  Then came the line drive that barely cleared the fence for a walk-off North Central win.  There’s no coming back after a loss like that, at least not for mere mortals.  Elmhurst dropped the nightcap, 4-1.
And now we wait for the weekend, which starts off at Carthage College in Kenosha.  A perfect name, Carthage, signaling great victory or defeat.  The Romans would know what to do, and we better, too.
