Local Quiz, c/d 30 Sept
Can you help me please? I seem to have the same answer to two questions so one of them has to be wrong, I suspect the first.
1. Baseball pitch
2. What until recently was known as the hardest substance on earth?
Many thanks.

2 Diamond.

Is that what you have for no.1?

[Tilly2]

Could no.1 be cutter?

[bhg481]

Diamond certainly fits both clues.

[cashier]

1 A baseball pitch is called a diamond

[Tilly2]

I was thinking of the types of pitch, not the name of the ground.

A fan's guide to identifying pitches
Fastballs: Four-seam, Two-seam, Cutter, Splitter, and Forkball.
Breaking Balls: Curveball, Slider, Slurve, and Screwball.
Changeups: Changeup, Palmball, Circle Changeup.

[Tilly2]

...breaking ball?

[dannyk13]

Hardball - a type of baseball as opposed to softball.

[hillwalker]

Thank you, yes, I had thought of diamond for both clues. Looking on Google, I think a baseball pitch is the actual throw and not the playing field. Maybe hardball might fit best?

Why can't you have 2 answers the same?
Is there any inkling in the "rules" that the answers have to be all different?
