You could start by looking up "adverb" and "infinitive."

Well, an adverb describes "what, where, and when," and was used in a prepositional phrase. An infinitive is a verb in its pre-conjugated state, such as "to smoke," or "to take." So I shoud have called it a verb. "One" should be and adjective, which is a word that conveys "which, what kind of, or how many."
My bracketing may not be correct, but then again, neither was the run-on sentence structure that I was diagramming.
It was obvious that "shot" meant the ball, and that the ball was still the implied subject of the second sentence.
You see the use of proper grammar daily as a teacher. I haven't taken college English in over 20 years, so I'm quite rusty.
My current term paper does meet proper MLA standards in form. I sure hope my grammar is good as well so I get an A.
