"Here's an order," she says. "And here's a problem: the buyer has indicated that for some items she would like two. These are stones; they occur in nature. I cannot get the same twice.

The series of hard-fought, closely-contested clashes culminated with yesterday’s double-OT thriller. “I was starting to think my middle name was Overtime,” Crimson coach Katey Stone said, “I thought it was a great series overall.
