    Fixed.

    And zero assists? Will enarrative also provide a sidebar about the L'anse Creuse North squad, which is apparently built around an isolation offense that only scores on one-on-one plays and offensive boards?

    "The American League took it to the National League on Tuesday, July 15, 4-3, in fifteen innings. The victory prolongs an eleven-game winning streak for the AL. A total of 63 players were used by both teams."
