...Crimson's solid hitting and the Unicorn's ineptitude continued for the next three innings. Betty 'she's so hot, you'll melt if you stand near her" Ippolito collected two hits--a single and a double--and two RBI's. Elaine Holpuch cracked her fourth homer of the season, and, in the bottom of the third, designated hitter Sarah LeBlond scored the 16th run of the game when three consecutive Smith errors let her circle the bases...

...when the eyes are flashing violet -which in her case means go-she could melt an igloo. During the three weeks in Fort Lauderdale, the loud, rollicking laughter from her dressing room backstage almost brought down the roof. "I know," she says, somewhat abashed when it is mentioned to her. "Noël Coward told me once that my laugh is like a drunken sailor's on leave.

Sooner or later, eastern Nevada, or central Mississippi, or even southern Massachusetts, will watch a valve fail and a core melt down.
