After a very long day at work, Alisa fell asleep much earlier than usual, somewhere around 7:30 pm. The television in her bedroom was left on,
and she slept right through the baseball game that was televised between 8:30 and 11:30 pm. The next morning, on her way to work, she had a vague sense that her home team had won the game 7-6 in extra innings.
