Can you use GREP to find a word (example "baseball") then go to the end of the paragraph and insert an asterick?

Before
Baseball is a sport played between two teams.
It is a bat-and-ball game.

After

Baseball is a sport played between two teams.
It is a bat-and-ball game.*

Correct answer FRIdNGE

Thanks, FRIdNGE but that just added "(^/) to the end:

Baseball is a sport played between two teams.

It is a bat-and-ball game.(^/)

NEVERMIND! LOL!! I didn't realize (^/) is part of your signature!!!

(^/) is just my signing on Forums! 😉

Thank you, Jeffery_Smith!
I just realized that both solutions just go to the end of the sentence. Is there a way to go to the end of the story?
