$100K Bonus Round

The latest male champ lands on the I of SPIN. I know it already (and this puzzle is similar to the one Jessica Derenbecker in S23 solved for the big one in New Orleans)…

_ _ _ E
_ _ S _

HPBO gives him a shot…

H _ _ E
B _ S H

…but he blows it w/ HOME BASH, so he won’t throw a HUGE BASH after he loses the Equinox.
