Hector goes to the board and counts this round for Ash. “Ash's score is 334 and this puts him in the lead.” Announced Hector. “Well, it looks like Ash knows how to play too.

I grunt my thanks, noncommittally, just before Caleb jumps up from his chair, cheering for a third strike out, moving this game right back into the grasp of his beloved team at the top of the tenth. "Anyway, I can tell by the cheering that you're busy. I'll let you get back to work. But Tiffany, start trying to figure out if there is a pattern to the back pain. If it spikes and recedes.
