- back to the former red rebelett- show... starring- cade... the future ragin' cajun- throwing all kinds of - spice... pulling up two more- chairs, in the top of the - fourth... still - just one hit allowed by cade, u- to this point.- and how about we let her twin - get in on the action... kayla - cade top spin burner, down the- third base line... and she's- thinking two all the way... - stand- up double, for the - sophomore - catcher... and she's saying - hey... it's our time... except- no runs in- the inning, for m-g-c-c-c.- not to worry, though... older - twin locking it down, in the- fifth... just three hits and tw- walks allowed all game, for - cade... and of course... two- more k's for kristen, in the- inning... just weed wacking the- opposition... and she's not - sorry about it.
