It's a brief story about a local baseball game. Here is how it ended: The Giants [down 8-6] had the bases loaded with one out in the ninth inning when Pete Aguon singled in a run. Jamie Antone was gunned down at home, preventing the would-be tying run, and then Orandly Merlei was thrown out trying to advance to third for the final out of the game.
In the final week before my college graduation, I had two job offers for sportswriting: one in Scotts Bluff, Nebraska, and the other for the Pacific Daily News in Agana. After much deliberation, I was leaning toward the less remote outpost (you can guess which that was) when I got offered some part-time work from the Pasadena Star-News, and I leapt at that.
