Title: Game 2 Move 2 The Herd to play 6-1

Zorba rolled a 4-2 and brought two down from the midpoint: 13/11 13/9.

So it's our move again.  6-1 is the roll.

With us leading in the match and the race, I don't see the reason for unnecessary risks.  I'd like to run the backman, but don't see any good ways to do it with this roll, so the prosaic but solid 13/7 8/7 for me.

At 8-0 it's time to move this one along.
