Hunter Eikenberry “Walkoff”

It was going to be a hard day, and it was a big day. Everyone was happy about today. My family and I woke up in the morning feeling great. We went down into the lobby of our hotel to get some breakfast. Then we went to the baseball field where I was playing in the championship. We were playing solid and I was having a good game going three for three with one home run. We felt confident because we were the home team which meant we had the last at-bat if we were losing. We play seven innings and it was the sixth inning. The game was tied five to five until the last inning. We were doing so good until one of the best kids in the state hit a three-run homer.

    We started Jack Foster on the mound, but, it didn’t go as planned. They started hitting bombs off him and scored five runs in the first inning.

    Our leadoff hitter had a leadoff double, but was then picked off right away. The next two batters weren’t a threat either. The Oklahoma Elite managed to sneak across a run in the bottom of the second. We didn’t want them to catch back up so we decided to kick it in gear. The rest of the game we remained in the driver’s seat.…

    St.Joe got a last minute goal to win the game. Anthony and I packed up the camera and headed down to the field with our team. It was a sad sight.

    Numb, I couldn’t feel anything in my fingers and toes. I couldn’t even remember what I did the entire day. I couldn’t hear anything besides the ringing in my ears. I laid on the ice and was blinded by the lights in the arena. I knew it was bad, I’ve been hit before but this one was different, this is the kind where they say, it might be time to hang it up, if I had a nickel for every time some coach or some doctor said that to me, well I probably wouldn’t have to work anymore.…

    Today at school my math teacher assigned a lot of homework, but gave us no time to work on it, so I have to finish it later. At my house there is a rule that says I can’t go out with my friends until I get homework done, so I made sure to do a good job and get it done pretty quickly. After I finished my homework, me and my Dad played a game of horse, and got a bite to eat. Tomorrow is the day we find out which baseball team we are on, me and my best friend Vijay can’t wait to see if we are on the same team. Today is the day I have been waiting for, for nearly a whole year since baseball ended.…

    So we prayed and the game started and we played nervously. My captain, Melissa dribbled down the court, looked to pass, and took the shot but missed it. Michelle also missed her fast-break lay up, and I missed my free throw. At the end of Quarter 2, it was like playing football because the scoreboard only shows 2 for Ipeka Tomang (my school) and 3 for Yadika. That indicates how much we are struggling the whole quarter never really score but a constant battle between getting and loosing the ball.…

    Senior Year My greatest memory so far in my eighteen years of being on this earth is without a doubt my senior year of high school. It was absolutely unforgettable. My senior year as a whole (which was just last year) was the most fun I’ve ever had in my life and the happiest I have ever been. When I was a chubby little freshman with glasses I thought to myself that high school would be one of the longest time periods of my life and that four years would feel like forty years. But man was I wrong, high school went by in the blink of an eye.…
