Manager Grubb watched from the dugout as his baseball
team took the field. It was the ninth inning and his boys,
the Albuquerque Isotopes, were locked in a 9-9 tie with the Lansing Lugnuts.
Grubb studied the nine players he had positioned on the field: His attention soon became absorbed by the curious fact that his nine players wore on their uniforms the numerals 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9. The more he looked at his players and their numbers, the more he noticed. Grubb's observations are given below as clues, from which you should be able to deduce who played which position, wearing which number.
