And what, then the second game is played after the third? Only in Texas.
Well, gosh, Ben, I thought the context would be clear, especially to an English teacher. That section of my post deals explicitly with the status of the umpires for the double-header. If the teams split the first two games, then....

I'll explain it so you'll understand that we in Texas count the same way you guys in Washington do.

The third game [of the series] is played immediately after the first game [of the double header]....

If the winning coach wants the plate umpire from the second game [of the series] to call the plate in the third and deciding game, there's no day off: The third game is played immediately after the first [of that day].

Ya think?
