Inman recipricates with a deft shot of his own to close the match, nicely referencing several previous volleys: the disc-grid from #6, the wolves from #9, and a return to the social web app pun from his own opening shot.
Setting the intra-textfield labels in Marker Felt is a sly taunt to your humble commentator; like sprinkling salt in my eyes, and using my least favorite brand of salt to do it.
Halfway through the match I thought Cornell had it in the bag, and might have been on his way to a rout. But Inman closed with a series a strong shots, and, looking back at the second half in sequence, it feels like Inman was driving the narrative. I think it's a tight call, and the series from 6 to 7 to 8 might have turned the match around.
