Home Plate (PCC#19)

Hi everyone -

I'm happy to present this week's MMM "Home Plate"

You may ignore the "PCC#19" in the title as it doesn't have anything to do with the meta... it's just a numbering system for myself.
Starting this Saturday, I will be posting metas on a biweekly schedule under Phil's Crossword Corner (PCC) here on the Muggles Forum.

Please submit your answer for this meta via Crosshare using the link below or by sending me a PM.
Hints to be released on Wednesday.

Many thanks to Peter Abide for test-solving and to Joe Ross for formatting.

Happy solving!
-Phil :mrgreen:

Phil's first MMM is hardly his first. He is a clever constructor and has quite few on his own part of Crosshare (https://crosshare.org/pchow13).His puzzles run from a fun romp in the park like today's to "Oh my gosh, what have I gotten myself into" but they are all solvable and logical. His distinctive "voice" is a nice addition to our group.

Thanks for today, I am off the couch and working on setting up the new TV and sound bar I got...I may have to call a 12 year old to help me through it!
