"Beside Pitch"??????....... Help with that bit please?

The word She (woman) beside the word Field (pitch). Presumably the missing F comes from “loud” somehow or a repetition of woman via F as an abbreviation of female? Dunno...

'Beside pitch' = Next to FIELD

Nope. Doesn't work for me. Why would a pitch be next to a field? I can see pitch being alternate to field, but beside? May be beside is "as well as". Bad clue. We'll lose cos of that.
