    Let's see some hustle.

    Coach, we don't have whack-bat around. What are the rules?

    There's no whack-bat on the other side of the river?

    No, we mostly just run grass sprints or play acorns.

    It's real simple.

    Basically, there's 3 grabbers, 3 taggers, 5 twig-runners and the player at whack-bat.

    The center-tagger lights a pinecone, chucks it over the basket.

    And the whack-batter tries to hit the cedar-stick off the cross-rock.

    Then the twig-runners dash back and forth until the pinecone burns out and the umpire calls, "hot box. "

    Finally at the end, you count how many score-downs it adds up to and divide by nine.

    - Got it. - Go in for Ash.

    Substitution! Ash, come out! You need a breather.
