Beth Mowins usually does a fine job for the WCWS, but this year ...

In Game 1, we had twelve consecutive outs by Ellen Renfro when it was actually thirteen, the last out of the previous inning being the thirteenth. Then last night, we had three consecutive outs from a previous inning (not a three-up, three-down inning) omitted from a consecutive-out count. These could be someone whispering the wrong number in her earpiece.

But calling Ellen's older sister Ivory instead of Ivy is all on her.

Michelle Smith and Jessica Mendoza were their normal selves - decent, but dangerous when they wandered too far off the reservation.


And I grew up on Gene Elston, too, and loved listening to him.

My dad first got stationed in Fort Leonard Wood, Missouri when I was five years old and just got started to be interested in baseball. His favorite player was Roberto Clemente, so we would often go to the old Busch Memorial Stadium when the Cardinals hosted the Pirates.

I soon took a liking to the Cards, so I listened to them on a transistor AM radio with the single earbud. Those were the days when Jack Buck and Harry Caray were doing their games on KMOX radio. I was much too young to appreciate them together; I can only imagine having two legends in the box together made for some memorable moments.
