The Tigers did just that by blitzing the Eagles with a 13-run second inning as they cruised to a 23-1 win to wrap up a sweep of their district foe and secure a spot in the postseason.

But as creatures living in a realm where time is an arrow that only flies in one direction, a linear path is often more comfortable, better understood and more conducive to progressing independent interests.
