Baseball Lineup
Before the game, the manager of the "Anytown Homers" had to decide in what order to bat his 9 players. However, the manager's dog chewed the paper the lineup was written on as the manager drove to the game. He could remember:
1. No one whose name begins with a "J" is the lead-off hitter.
2. Blake bats in the middle of the lineup.
3. Jay bats after Keith & Jake and before Gerald.
4. Mitch bats 3 spots away from Blake (2 between).
5. Jon hits before Jay and after Blake.
6. Doug bats before Mitch.
7. Keith bats 2 spots before Jon (1 between).
8. Jake bats third.
9. Jay bats 2 spots before Jack, who bats last (1 between).
