Base on balls

The pressure was on. I got up to the plate and I could feel my stomach turning and twisting. I held the bat tight. I could feel the warm wet leather from my hands that were sweating inside my batting gloves. I saw the pitcher start her wiand up. I could she the ball coming perfect right down the center of the plate. After I heard the crack of the bat, everything seemed like it was in slow motion. I swung the bat as hard as I could. After I ran as fast as could to first as I rounded the corner to see if I should go to second. The ball had landed forty feet into the outfield. So I ran to second and stopped there. Finally I realized that I had just broken my hitting slump. That felt amazing. I was the first one to hit the ball that inning. Everyone that batted after me followed in my footsteps. After five runs it was my teams turn to…

amazing hit would have never been caught. On defense, Kraze holds back Intensity when the center fielder catches a fly ball, the third out. Running into the dugout, I know we have one last chance at bat. The score is still 3-3, and there are only ten minutes left on the clock. On deck, I take a few practice swings to calm my nerves. My teammate, Alaura, hits a double. The batter before her, Amari, advances from first to third. Then, Coach sends in the pinch runner, Kiki, for Amari, our…

best because everyone came to watch. We started warming up for the game, our first thing we did was throw the ball back and forth for a while, after that we got a little bit of hitting practice. Then we had to get off the field so the field workers could finish getting the field ready. The game finally started, we were in the field first since we were the home team. Before we started our coach called us over and started saying, “Remember at all times in this game you must trust yourself!” We…

tension and started to creep in. I needed this hit. If I strike out, I will cost my team the game. I put thought to the back of head and focused on this moment. I got in my ready stance raising my bat and waiting anxiously for the pitcher to throw the ball. As she started her wind up, I loaded up using my legs and arms to be prepared for what was to come. Once she real eased the ball, a flood of confidence rushed through me like a water rapid. The pitch was perfect. Right down the middle;…

I walked up to the home plate ; Mr.jaan pitched the ball and I was thinking just do it. I was thinking so hard in fact that I got one strike for doing so. Next Mr.jaan got a the ball and made it bounce so he said it was a ball .On the third roll I kicked so high and long that Oskar could catch it but it slip out of his hands and then I started to run as fast as lighting or people just call me the the Jogging Cow. While I was running the only thing I can think of was run but the problem was…

Similarly, the defending team needs strategy to gain possession of ball, defend their space and goal, anticipate opponent 's move, decide their defensive positioning and cover the play area (Mitchell, Oslin & Griffin, 2013). In ACSJ, the pupils are get into 2v1 game, two offenders and one defender. Using modified basketball rules, a defined mini court is used with clear mark our boundaries with cones or court lines. Off the court offender is supposed to pass the ball to the court offender…

and Trendin McKinney ,Kynsie's brother, at the World Series and our brother's team was in the field first ,Southwest Arkansas. When the first batter was up and Cane Edwards our pitcher threw the ball and the batter hit the ball to short stop and T.K threw it to first base and everyone screamed and shouted for him. We got three outs our turn to bat and there was no run limit and Tyler was up to bat and he hit it to outfield and he run to second base and then Kyle Blagg got up to bat and got a…

first and i batted 4th that day which is the cleanup hitter. I got up to bat for the first time and i hit a line drive that hit the fence if someone would try and catch it would hurt their hand. So I scored that inning and we were up 2 to 0. It was that same score until the 5th inning. So they got up to bat in the top of the 5th inning and scored 3 runs on us so now we were down to them. So we got up to bat in the bottom of the 5th inning and the guy in front of me got on base and was up with a…

batting. The main focus of the session is to have children understand and perform the correct sequence of events that contribute to a successful swing in softball. The goals of this session include improving hand-eye coordination and making consistent contact with a ball that is pitched to them. To achieve this I will have to use a range of different coaching techniques. I will also use drills to build up to the skill of hitting a pitched ball and have the children…

All the bases were loaded, two outs, two strikes, and we were losing 5-9. I was up to bat, extremely scared, and very pressured. My coach was yelling at me and telling me all these things to do and they were making my mind crazy. I was scared I would strike out and my whole team would be mad, I was scared my dad would be angry, and I was afraid that I would let myself down. I didn’t believe in myself that I could hit the ball, but it all began when I stepped up to the plate… “Come on Gwen,…
