  Scene 2: It’s the bottom of the fifth inning, and the score is tied. Cheers and jeers fly between the two dugouts. Everyone is hot and tired. They want to win; they also want this endless game to be over. The batter is known as the team’s best hitter, with an average of two home runs a game. Pitcher and catcher give each other a knowing glance. The pitcher starts her wind up, but before she can release the ball, a clash of thunder shakes the stadium. The umpire calls everyone off the field just as the rain starts pounding the diamond. Scene 3: Both teams arrive, drenched, at the local pizza place. They start laughing at how wet they are, comparing notes about how hot they had been, and rehashing the game. Then they settle in for dinner, and the subject turns to the latest movies.
