Heighten the Drama

This week, we covered the first game of the World Series. The 14-inning long game is now tied for the longest in World Series history. It was the Mets' first World Series in 15 years. Not only that, but there was a 4-minute blackout in the broadcast due to technical difficulties, and one of the Royals' players learned of a death in his family after the 6th inning. For this week's shout out contest, we want you to capture—and heighten—the drama of one or two of these events in writing. Become a sports announcer at the field and write up a transcript. Keep the tension high as you commentate. Be creative and keep listeners on the edge of their seats. Send us your transcript of one or two of the most dramatic moments, and if you can, record yourself and send us video or audio of your broadcast too!

Have a great night :)
