With runners still on second and third, freshman Susie Winkeller punched a spinning hit between the pitcher and the first baseman. First baseman Amanda Morin couldn’t handle the hit, and Winkeller scampered to first while Gordon raced home. Suddenly, the Crimson was within one run with runners on first and third...
...attorney, Morvillo, took too big a risk in assuming that the government had not made its case. The defense presented a truncated case and never put Stewart or Bacanovic on the stand to offer a competing version of events.

Her most delightful descriptions are of these underworld dealings and of the intrigues in the personal lives of the protagonists, each of whom loves the one member of the trio who doesn?...
...desire. Although Sazzae doesn’t quite attain its literary aspirations, it does show that not all writers with potential reach their audience through the mainstream process. If Sazzae had been squeezed by the pressure of that process, the writing would likely be much tighter and more consistent. Morin surely has talent, but there is something to be said for jumping through all the normal hoops...
