Good game, evenly-matched players. Kiki seemed poised to hold the lead, but missed that very knowable DD. I was temporarily stumped by FJ, but came up with it with maybe 10 seconds to go. Tough one, to be sure. (I was trying to think of something better than “Should I Stay or Should I Go?”) Didn’t expect anyone to know the junior circuit, a term I haven’t heard used in forever. A very old-school baseball term.
I did a little above average in the game, but had no clue as to the FJ. Well, it was a tough FJ to be sure. Anyways, it was another great game, and Will triumphed again.
