With the first gumdrop smacked into oblivion (actually, it was just smacked down the pitch, but oblivion sounded much more destructive), Sierra steered her broom in the opposite direction and scanned the pitch for another gumdrop to hit. Thank Merlin she was a seasoned beater. It was certainly helping her chances in this activity.

Her eyes landed on a green gumdrop a good ways down the pitch, and she lowered her position on her broom and zoomed off. Her eyes stayed right on the gumdrop--her goal--throughout the entire ride across the pitch. As she got closer, she raised her bat, angling it into a position where she was confident it'd smack the gumdrop. She made a fierce face as she grew closer, and then as soon as a few more seconds flashed by, ...she swung!

A green blur soared across the pitch, causing Sierra to give another proud smile.
