The Shape Shifters 1 - The Hags 0
Third inning.Pitcher - Batter
This time Death was taken by surprise as a pair of arms came out of the jelly beneath it, it was Nellie LongArms! This resulted in an easy ball that Jenny bites and sends it flying towards the right field. Skin-shifter transformed his hand into a bear claw to try to catch the ball but Jenny's saliva was too slippy and this allowed her to reach second for a double!<[3][3]: 4<0. batter advances 2 bases, and all players forced to move advance a base or two.>
Jenny to second.
--------
My Name is Immaterial asked Jenny if she was ready for pitching, but she told him she wasn't quite recovered enough. Remember than on our dimension weeks happened, while on the tournament, all the games have happened in a single day!
So he told Nellie Longarms to go up to the mound to relieve Nana Yaga which was already gasping for a break. "GET OFF MY LAWN!"...excuse me? "Erm, nevermind!" Nellie never quite let go off the ball. Who knows what was her plan, but she ended up hitting Kit with the ball with her really long arm that went from the mound to the plate. This allowed the fox a free base. "My name is 'Kitsune', not 'Kit' or 'the fox'"Oh, sorry Kitsune!<[1][1]: 0<2. Batter moves to first, players forced to move advance 1 base.>
Kitsune on first.
--------
Jenny on second.
Nana came to the plate with a broom, sweeping the floor with it. "THAT'S WHAT BROOMS ARE FOR! NOT... FLYING!"She made a great hit to left field and ran to first, as it seemed an easy catch for Lupin, so Jenny didn't move, but suddenly a big gummy worm came out of the candyground, and Lupin lost track of the ball. When he threw it finally into the field Jenny had made it to third while Nana was on second.
After this, Death threw a pokéball into the candyground and Ditto came up from it, ready to continue pitching.<[1][1]: 4<0. batter advances 2 bases, and all players forced to move advance a base or two.>

Nellie extended her right arm to center field to give strength to the ball and then threw it, the ball bounced on the candyground and went to Mara's hand at short stop, who quickly threw it to Peg on second before Kitsune arrived, and Peg threw it to Grindylow on first, but Mimic made it there before the ball arrived.<[2][1]: 5>2. All players on bases are out, and the batter moves to first.>
Kitsune out, Mimic on first.

Ditto transforms into the most adorable Pikachu I've "ever seen! Aww! Just look at it!... Wait, what? Oh..."
This transformation didn't help much, Clotho didn't have any trouble hitting the ball to the right field, where Skin-Shifter grabbed it and threw it to first but Clotho had made it there, Nana made it to third, and Jenny scored a run for a single that tied the game!<[2][1]: 4<3. Batter moves to 1st, everyone else advance 1 base.>

Selkie made its tail really hard to welcome the ball and sent it deep into center field! Atropos had a series of threads ready to catch it, but they failed and she just tangled herself with them! When she threw the ball back into the field she noticed Mimic was already of third and Selkie on second for a double!<[3][1]: 5<4. Batter moves to 2nd, everyone else advance two bases.>

And then, what happened was amazing! Ditto transformed into a giant Electrode, and exploded! This sent the ball with great speed and hit Atropos's scissors for a hit, but Nana, Clotho and Atropos were knocked out by the explosion! So all the shape-shifters needed to do was tag them with the ball for a triple play! Nana, Clotho and Atropos are out, this is a sudden ending to the top of the inning!<[3][1]: 61. All players on bases are out, and the batter is out.>

Nana, for the first time, came to the plate with something that looked like a bat, a pestle. She was perched in a large mortar, and as Ditto transformed into a Charmander to throw the ball, Nana hit it really high into center field the ball bounced on some candy and then was grabbed by Grace, who just looked at how Nana was about to make it to second base by just pushing the mortar with the pestle. Grace threw the ball but Nana made it safe first for a double.<[1][3]: 0=0. Batter moves to 2nd, if there were players on 1st and/or 2nd, they're out.>

It all depends on Nellie now!

Fifth inning.
"Ha! Did you see that? By the end it looked like swiss cheese, if the game didn't end I'm sure we could have kept scoring over and over!" "Yes, totally! Though I've got to admit, they put me to sweat there! You never know when Ditto is going to explode and get everyone out!" "Congrats! We were so close! I still can't believe we didn't make it!"Game result (okay to read)
