[ WP ] Write a Calvin-ball match between a lawyer and a genie


 Scott: “ Bottom of the 9th and the match is all tied up 134-134. This is definitely one of the best Calvin-ball matches we ’ ve seen in a long time, isn ’ t it Dave? ” 
 
 Color Man Dave: “ Indeed Scott. How unlikely is it that Genie would score exactly 17 runs in the top of the 9th to tie this game up? 
 
 Scott: “ For those of you just joining us, in the last half-inning, we saw a grand slam, a two-out triple and then a rare 13-run hole-in-one shot when the ball landed right on the gutter of the house. ” 
 
 Color Man Dave: “ Our team of lawyers was not happy about that, especially because the house wasn ’ t there until Genie clapped his hands, but that ’ s part of the fun of Calvin-ball. ” 
 
 Scott: “ Leading off for the lawyers in the bottom half of the ninth is Dewey, a rookie Calvin-ball player out of Florida. Pitch is away and a swing and a miss, strike one. ” 
 
 Color Man Dave: “ Dewey has been chasing those outside spitballs all day. He hasn ’ t figured out how the genie makes them curve. ” 
 
 Scott: “ Second pitch is a ball. High and inside; a bit of sweet chin music. Wait, what ’ s this? Dewey is charging the mound. ” 
 
 Color Man Dave: “ He ’ s already lost one fight today to the Genie in the fourth. Probably not his best move. ” 
 
 Scott: “ He tackles Genie to the ground and pins him down. This could score a run for the lawyers if he pins him for a three count. 1 - 2 - oh, and Genie kicks out at the last second. ” 
 
 Color Man Dave: “ That was a bit of a slow count there from the ref, but Genie probably deserved it given his reputation. ” 
 
 Scott: “ Back to the bat, Dewey swings and misses for strike three. ” 
 
 Color Man Dave: “ Dewey is arguing that there was never a strike two. The rookie doesn ’ t remember that fight losers get a strike added to their count. Oh man, and Dewey earns the lawyers a second out by arguing the rules. That ’ s rough. ” 
 
 Scott: “ Indeed. With two outs, our next batter for the lawyers is John Cheatum, a veteran of many court cases whose 8 for 12 today and scored a 3 run double in the second inning and an 8 run free throw streak back in the sixth. ” 
 
 Color Man Dave: “ Cheatum has been on fire all game. I ’ d recommend Genie intentionally walk him but as you ’ ll remember the ‘ scardy-pants ’ addendum to the rules signed in the third says that would score a run. ” 
 
 Scott: “ Right you are Dave. Wait, what ’ s this? Genie has used his third and final wish to get an automatic strikeout against Cheatum. Is that allowed? ” 
 
 Color Man Dave: “ Of course it is, but due to the use of magic the lawyers can appeal for a fourth out this inning under the 1637 Treaty of Hobbes. ” 
 
 Scott: “ You ’ re right again Dave. And here comes Steve Howe up to the plate for the lawyers with the game on the line…. ”
