**Strinka** to **Sternvogel** to **Ghanima** for the point! The **Mole Rats** make it 9-6, and can win it right here if they decide to try for a two-pointer. Ball is back in play (on preview, taken by **Sternvogel** ). ---

I don’t like where this is going. Better get more red paint. _squirt_ Ouch. Watch when you throw that thing, **featherlou**! I wasn’t red enough yet! I’m going to put the ball through my portable Improbability Drive, hopefully it doesn’t come out a Sperm Whale. ---
