...wounds: "Shrapnel wounds almost always look like someone took a jagged shovel and dug a chunk of flesh out of the body, then filled it in awkwardly with hairless, discolored skin that shouldn't be on a human being. Burn wounds are smoothly hideous, like the skin was turned into peanut butter and then spread in stretched, uneven dollops on the body. Or maybe you come back missing a finger or your face, or the whole or parts of your limbs. Maybe your eyes are gone...

...second home run over the left-center field wall, bringing the score to 11-10. With Voiro gone, Tom Grandieri faired no better in the relief role, yielding singles to Douglas and Albright before Reynolds sacrifice bunted. After intentionally walking Roberts to set up the double play, Grandieri almost got his wish before O’Hara’s legs and an errant throw dashed the Quakers’ hopes of a split.Through the offensive explosion, rookie Jonah Klees picked up the win with a strong outing. The freshman logged 3.2 innings of no-hit ball, allowing only...
