Phrasing

I was watching WHO/TV13 news yesterday morning and this sports guy ended his segment letting us know he'd keep us abreast of sports action, including girls state softball.

Abreast.

Girls.

Personally, I'd have put it differently and the scientific community is united in that fact.

Chris chuckled and swears, a few years ago, a tennis announcer described the score in a match with, "she has just pulled abreast of Betty Stova".

Ouch!
