 A:     Hello baseball fans, and welcome back to today’s
       game! My name is Rick Fields and of course, I
       am here, once again, with the man that seals the
       deal, Bob Copeland.

 B:     It’s a beautiful day to see two world class teams
       face each other and fight for their right to be called
       champions.

 A:    Well, the national anthem¹ has just been sung, and
       the umpire has started the game. It’s time to play
        ball!

 B:     Roger Vargas is up at bat. The pitcher² winds up
       and strike one!

 A:    A very nice curve ball by the pitcher. The catcher
       gives him the sign, he winds up and Vargas gets
       a line drive!
 B:    The players are scrambling³ to get the ball. Vargas
       gets to firs base and he’s still going! The  out-
       fielder throws it to second! Vargas  slides! He’s
       safe!

 A:    Great play!

 B:    We have a runner on third and up at bat is Brian
       Okami! There’s  the  pitch,  he  hits  it! It’s  going,
       going, that ball is gone!

 A:     Home run by Okami!  That puts this team ahead
        by two as we are at the bottom of the fifth inning
        here at Richie Stadium!
