I want to truncate my short descriptions after so many characters so that the wordy ones don’t destroy my design.

Basically I want to make this:

look like this:
“Multi-position hitting tee with home plate base…”

So that the items in my product list don’t overlap each other in the case of an unexpectedly long short description.
