The chatter did not die throughout the close game, after a full 7 innings played we had lost 2-3; we started to shake the opposing team hands as a ‘good game gesture’.

As it got all of our attentions we formed a circle and started to argue with the other team as well as pushing and shoving them.…

    Levi was pitching, and is a really good pitcher. I will admit, Ethan wasn’t the greatest player in the world, but he definitely had one of the biggest hearts on the field. Even though Ethan wasn’t the best player, I still cheered him on from the on-deck circle. After a couple of pitches, somehow, Ethan hit the ball and got on first base. I came up to bat and Levi kept telling Ethan that his hit was nothing but luck.…

    I said in a bratty voice. I stepped out of the imaginary batter's box took a few deep breaths, tightened my batting gloves, and then stepped back into the batter’s box, thinking about finally getting a good cut. Nick threw another ball perfectly placed down the plate. I started my cut keeping my head down swinging at just the right speed, I made perfect contact and the ball when flying straight back to the end of the cage, or at least it would of!…

    I swung, and ended up swinging as the ball passed me. The next pitch came and I waited a second longer and smacked the ball right back at the pitcher. I ran as fast as my little legs would move. I reached first base and looked at my dad to see him jumping up and down with excitement; he was so proud of me I couldn’t help but smile back at him. As the game progressed, I had no idea how I was magically given these talents.…

That was, until we were the home team during the top of the ninth inning with a one run lead with one out.…
