Beckett looking to get out of a tough jam here in the bottom of the fifth with runners on second and third. She's up now 0 and 2 on Cashin. Cashin fouls one off, stays alive. Good cut there to to keep this at bat going. Really nice to see Holly just pop one right here over the second base. >> Yes, so much so much space in between the the infield and the outfielders. Love to see one dropped in here for a base hit. That'll score two. That'll score two. Unfortunately, she can't catch up to that one. And Sophia Beckett gets her second strikeout of the inning. And the Clockers leave two stranded, but they are able to get one across on the RBI double by Ruby Kazanjian.

Okay. >> Yeah. I mean, all the utilities on Memorial Drive are underground right now and it is our intention to bring ours in underground, but I I agree with Matt like if if we if it's outside of our control, it would be nice to have a an out if the utilities can't support Um >> it's funny that that kind of line says in case of extreme except in case of extreme physical environmental constraints it actually kind of takes care of it to I don't know if you need to add finding to that line item you know it already says you are going underground until unless as there is extreme physical and environmental constraints.

So, really important inning right now for Ashland. Need the Mastro go to settle in, throw strikes, and let her fielders field behind her, and get out of here with a with an early season victory. Uh this Wayland team, though, has been pretty impressive. Last year, the Clockers played Wayland um and the Clockers won pretty easily. I would have to say that Wayland is a much improved team because I am a firm believer that the Clockers are a much improved team as well. So, two teams that are on the rise playing against each other, and what has been a really great matchup on a on a blustery cold day here in Ashland, Wayland. Yes. I mean, both teams have had, you know, timely hits. We've We've left definitely left more more more um um players on base.

Bang bang bang, and then we can we can end our top of the lineup and get to work. >> Yeah, unfortunately, you're right. We We've left eight runners stranded today. Uh eight runners have been left on base. Timely hits have not necessarily been the calling card for the Clockers today. They've had some hits, but they haven't strung together too many. And the timely [clears throat] hits just haven't really taken place today. Uh eight runners stranded is a is a tough one, uh especially for a young pitcher who has thrown really well uh and and held the Warriors to you know, only four runs on six hits. Uh Bella's trusting Wayman with the uh batter. Um Um looks like he's ready, and then the batter's to be in the box in a minute. Looks like it's going.

Um, more noise that it's not generating noise for a for a neighborhood, a residential neighborhood or something like that. >> Thanks. >> Um, okay. So, then number 11 is kind of where um I put the the kind of very specific things that talk about because because it's asking about parking, loading, signage, dimensions, actual things that are covered in the bylaw. So, um, and I do have an addition for this. Yeah. So, a few questions, a few corrections here. One, um, I would just, um, um, just to stay within the language that that I had uh, for let's see. Okay, for parking, I'm I want to add one another section to this, another sentence because there was one other thing that was in the the GCG um that we talked about last time that didn't get that I didn't get in here and that was about those four trees in the parking in the parking lot and we we determined like it's four trees.

There's a meeting at the mound. Looks like the pitching coach is going out to talk to Bella. Falling behind 2-0 here uh against against the pinch hitter. Right. Uh again, we talked about the importance of these three batters here. Need to get out of this inning 1-2-3 if possible. Don't let them get to the top in this inning as we've got uh Ustaris leading off in the bottom of the sixth. So, if the if the Clockers are able to get out of this one and get their top of the order up going into the sixth inning, might be able to get some offense generated uh so we can close it out in the seventh, but we're going to go one step at a time here, Wayman.

Well, we are approving 289. So, you can go ahead and clear the land for the membership building. The worst case scenario may not happen for 3 years, but you're clearing the land right away for the parking spaces. So, I know we had this discussion and I just could not remember where we left off. >> Um, I do not either. Um, >> do we have any objection of clearing the land before the second membership building happens? >> If if I may, Madam Chair, I'm so sorry. >> Please. >> Um, so that's that's the reason that we're requesting the restoration bond deepa. So the intent is for them to do all of the site work at one time. So that way they can do all the erosion control measures at once because the cost and the work it would take to go around the early learning center would be too difficult.
