Baseball. Ohboy!Ohboy!Ohboy!Ohboy!Ohboy!
Salander was grinning for ear to ear. He was hoping that they get to go out to the greens again and play an inning at least. He wanted to get a chance to show off his mad skills at batting.
Then he stared at
Cauldron Girl Destiny showing who's boss with the walnut. Ok so maybe not that kind of mad batting.
SPOILER!!: Evelyn and Trent--You Win!

Hehehehe.
Smirking, the Slytherin crossed her arms, and then her legs as she went back to listening to what the professor was saying, half of it going in one ear, and the other half going straight out the other. Wha? Two words...if the batter doesn't hit the ball.
"You...fail?" If the pitcher guy couldn't pitch, and the batter guy couldn't hit, then they totally fail! It only made sense!

She was almost positive she was wrong, but that was her opinion.
So. There.
Salander had to Laugh.Out.Loud with this. They was right in a sense, but its probably something fans from the stands will be yelling at the players on the field. plus throwing copious amount of popcorn and whatever else to make their point.

He wasn't going to dwell on too many details but rather give them a simplified version of baseball. "Now, first of all, thank you to Kurumi for this lovely drawing." He magnified the drawing so everybody could see it. This was definitely going to help explaining the general concept.
"The positions on this sketch are the positions of the team which is currently fielding. The other team - the batting team - will take turns in batting. The pitcher-" He pointed at the little stick-figure which was labelled 'pitcher'. "-throws the ball into the direction of the batter of the other team, who is standing slightly in front of the catcher." Cue point to the Catcher!Stick-figure. "The batter tries to hit the ball with his bat. Behind the catcher there is one of the Umpires, the referees." He turned away from the drawing and back to face the class. "If the batter fails to hit the ball, the Umpire decides whose fault it was. What are the two words he might say if the batter doesn't hit the ball?" Did that make sense? "A Ball and Strike" he replied, lifting his hand.
"a Batter is allowed 3 strikes before he's put out and 4 balls before he's allowed to Walk to 1st base."
