"Out" called the ump. Everyone scared to death we hear the score. 5-4 visitors, 2 outs, top of the seventh. Our whole team jumps to the fence when Daniel Messe gets to the batter's box. "Hopefully Danny doesn't get striked out" the team says. "Strike 1" the ump calls."Strike 2" he calls. Our team roars with a scared feeling in our guts. If Danny gets out we will lose the game and be eliminated from the playoffs I think to myself. 1,2,3 balls the ump calls. Our whole team rises with fear.
"Full count" the ump says. Then I remember our fifth game when he saved us from losing by catching a pop fly. Then I notice that he can get the job done and get on base. The pitcher pitches the ball and it is a fast one right down the middle. Danny
