"Yeah, that would be a problem, all the Anycwalls would probably want to date me, and I don't find any of you guys attractive, so this dating idea wouldn't get off the ground, as the rest of the hags would be a 'booby prize' after me."
"I'd not mind a date with GWG, that big gun of hers makes me want to take a closer look!"
"I'm going to have nightmares for weeks..."
"Want specially gruesome ones?"
"Already going to have them, I don't need your help."
"Ow, you find my green saliva disgusting?"
"And woman, in general, in that context. That it's you only makes it worse."
"Oh."
"Yeah, get some male hags on there first, or something!"
"There isn't any male hag, by definition."
"But then, how do hags reproduce?"
"I... I'll explain it to you later."
"Sorry for the delay, I was... wait, I don't have to give you any explanation for being late! I can arrive whenever I want, or not come at all! YOU DEPEND ON ME! I'm Yzma, and I'll be the umpire and host for this match which will the the first semifinal game of this oddly formatted baseball tournament."
"I'm so glad you're here."
"Yes, get this started before someone with abnormally long arms proposes to me!"
"I'll get this started whenever I want, too, so shush! This is the Active Volcano Stadium, the grinning man is grinning and has already sent his orders to his players. kj is nowhere to be found but his team with an absurd acronym seems to be ready as well."
"..."
"..."
"..."
"Okay, I'd have delayed this more if I was interrupted, glad to see I'm being treated with respect. It's playball!"

The Hags (My Name is Immaterial) Vs. The A.N.Y.C.F.W.A.L.S. (kj1225) --- Semifinal Game 1Pitcher - Batter
Atropos showed Kyle visions of his future, good moments, bad moments, ending with him getting old and dying when Atropos cut his life thread. Kyle didn't believe in fate, choosing to believe that one is architect of one's own destiny, and didn't pay attention to the visions, making a great hit to right field where Jenny was almost burned by the lava flowing there, and couldn't catch the ball until Kyle had ran to second for a double.<[1][1]: 1<4. Batter moves to 2nd, everyone else advance two bases.>
Kyle on second.
--------
"Bring them on! I wasn't afraid of hags when I was a kid, I'm not afraid now!"
As Keith throws the ball Mara catches it and traps it inside demonic energy, then sends this energy with great speed outside of the Stadium as all the The A.N.Y.C.F.W.A.L.S. watch Mara run a base after another with their mouth wide open, except for Xanatalos. "This was my revenge!"
"How resentful of you!"
<[1][1]: 4<6. Batter and everyone on bases score.>
Mara scored.
--------
The Hags 1 - The A.N.Y.C.F.W.A.L.S. 0
Kyle on second
Angel came with a very large flower, with a very strong, though nice, smell, but Atropos just though it was fishy and just got Kyle out when he was trying to steal first. The next thing we know is Angel has hit the ball with the flower back into Atropos hands for an out!<[2][1]: 6>1. All players on bases are out, and the batter is out.>
Kyle out. Angel out.
--------
Lachesis created illusions around Keith of his current situation, focusing on the negative and he saw his most recent failures to bat finishing by that home run that he allowed Mara to get. This did get to him and the ball he threw was hit by Lachesis into the gap! Derm was going to grab the ball when it was shot up suddenly by a big blast of lava coming from the ground. The ball was too hot so Keith threw to Derm one of his gloves so she could pick it up without burning her hand, but by this time Lachesis had already gotten to third for a triple!
"What is this, a Christmas Carol??"
<[2][1]: 5=5. All players on bases are out, batter to third.>
Lachesis on third.
--------
2 outs.
Atropos's plan was to scare Derm out by showing her images of her future and decrepit, old self, expecting Derm to have wrinkly and horribly looking skin by then, only to find out Derm was going to look basically like she did now her entire life and this wouldn't work. Atropos was surprised by this and threw the ball in a way that didn't give any trouble to Derm, and she hit and sent it flying to center field, Lachesis had to run towards the ball to grab it and Derm was faster to run to second for a double!<[3][1]: 4=4. All players on bases are out, batter to second.>
Derm on second.
--------
Lachesis on third.
The grinning man inquired as to why wasn't Atropos batting here. "I am pitching and I can't bat until the rest of the team is done batting."
Lachesis starts to run to third as Keith throws the ball, and Peg bunts it so Mr. Henderson, the catcher, has to try to grab it but when he does Lachesis has scored! He still throws the ball to first to get Peg out before she reaches it for a suicide squeeze!<[3][1]: 2=2. Batter out, rest of players advance 2 bases.>
Lachesis scored, Peg out.
--------
The Hags 2 - The A.N.Y.C.F.W.A.L.S. 0
Derm on second.
2 outs.
Atropos seems infuriated as she doesn't know what a pair of pants is doing before her, she throws the ball and, as expected, the inert clothes didn't do anything for a strike.
But she looked around and saw that Derm had stolen third base!
She throws the ball again as Derm starts running to third but this time the wind pushes Xanatalos's leg upwards to give a surprise kick to the ball that gets bunted and can't be grabbed by Atropos before Derm scores! The pants just remain inert there so Atropos throws the ball to first to get them out for another squeeze play. This is the third out and end of the bottom of the inning.<[1][2]: 1=1. Batter out, rest of players advance 3 bases.>
Derm scored. Xanatalos out. 3rd out. The Hags can attempt to score until getting three outs.
--------
The Hags 2 - The A.N.Y.C.F.W.A.L.S. 1
1 out.
Nellie looked depressed for some reason, she went and hit the ball back into Keith's hands for an out. "Oh, come on! Is it because I mentioned your abnormally long arms? I'm sorry, I'm not a monster. I apologize for mentioning your abnormally long arms."
<[1][2]: 4>5. Batter and the player on highest base are out.>
Nellie out.
2 outs.
Nana jumped in her big hut with chicken legs and it kicked the ball that Keith threw deep into center field but it fell directly on Angel's flower for an out. This was the third out and end of the bottom of the inning.<[2][2]: 5<1. batter is out.>
Nana Yaga out. 3rd out. Change.

GWG on first.
--------
The grinning man inquired as to why wasn't Clotho batting here. "Sorry! Quite not recovered after all the batting I had to do for the Elimination game, but I'll be batting next."
As Keith throws the ball, Grindylow flips around in the air and hits the ball to the left field, Kyle fails to catch the ball and has to jump over a lava stream to grab the ball allowing Grindylow to run to second for a double! "Yeah, you'd have to try harder if you'd ever dream to have a date with me if my manager allowed it."
<[3][2]: 2<4. Batter moves to 2nd, everyone else advance two bases. >
Grindylow on second.
--------
GWG on first.

Batter and the player on highest base are out.>
GWG out. Zero out.
--------
Grindylow on second.
Grindylow starts to run to steal third base but Keith throws the ball there and catches her stealing for an out.
And then, after so many singles on the Elimination game, Clotho was well studied, and when she hit the ball GWG was actually far away from first base where she was meant to be, because she had predicted to where Clotho was going to hit the ball. GWG caught the ball with her gun and got Clotho out.<[1][3]: 4>1. Batter and the player on highest base are out.>
Grindylow out. Clotho out.
--------
2 outs.
"What? Still hurt after your last game?"
"It was just yesterday! Another player would have asked to be replaced because of an injury, but not me, I can handle this. Also, my crotch feels better, thanks for asking."
"TOO. MUCH. INFORMATION!"
"Hey!"
"Huh, what?"
Biggus turned around and Atropos hit him with the ball on the back of his head, for a free base. ...

Jenny catches the ball with her mouth and then spits it high into the right field. Derm is ready with a pair of gloves but with Jenny's saliva all over the ball it slips and she fails to catch it. Derm puts an extra pair of gloves over her gloves and grabs the ball and throws it to second but Jenny gets there first for a double!<[2][3]: 5<0. batter advances 2 bases, and all players forced to move advance a base or two.>
Jenny on second.

Lava starts flowing and they lose sight of the ball! Jenny actually has to come to grab the ball and find that Biggus has made it to third and is running to home!
Jenny throws the ball but it doesn't reach home before Biggus, he scores as Mr. Henderson reaches third for a triple! "Just what the doctor ordered!"
