The words are often used with very little...
...beginning of the seventh inning, the last inning of the game, the score stood 6 to 5 in favor of the first nine. Then both batteries went to pieces. Cozzens was hit for three singles and a two-bagger. Morton, the catcher for the first nine, let in two runs on a wild throw to second and a fumble at the plate.
