Several years ago, the North Gower Gophers and the West Ottawa Wildcats
played a most unusual game of softball. For reasons that history
doesn't record, each inning of the 7-inning game was played in a
different ball field. History does, however, record the final
score: North Gower 33, West Ottawa 35.
To find the cache, you will need to visit all 7 ball fields where the
game was played. The following table gives the locations of all
the fields:

Each of these waypoints will place you somewhere on the ball
field. You need to determine which part of the field you're
in: infield, left field, center field, or right field. Then
take the scoreline from the appropriate column (first digit is the number
of runs by North Gower) and place it into the
following scoreboard:

Once you've determined the complete scoreline for the game, the
location of the cache should be obvious.
