They don't have to be as knuckle-gripping and sensational as Monica Gate on Salt Lake City - last season's finale of Potomac was a knee-slapper, and it largely consisted of the women getting pooped on by traumatized dogs. As long as you have a bit of humor and a bit of progress, that should offer sufficient momentum to carry me into a finale.
BOONVILLE, Missouri -- The softball field at Boonville Correctional Center has two fences. The first is a standard outfield fence, 275 feet from home plate, stretching from foul line to foul line. The second, about 50 feet farther, is made of taut barbed-wire strands ringed by circles of razor wire, separating the state penitentiary from the world. It's a stark reminder that the field is, quite literally, a diamond in the rough.
