Sierra Romero stepped up to the plate. Amber Logemann stared her down for a moment and, with the quick delivery she displayed all day long, threw a perfect strike on the inside corner, down and in. With no time to waste, she threw another perfect strike on the outside corner, down and out. 0-2.
Romero walked out of the batter's box, halfway back to the dugout. She paused as if the world was her oyster, and that oyster needed to start complying. Almost as an afterthought, she asked for time from the umpire right as she stepped back into the batter's box.
