“That’s ball four,” the umpire called. I sighed, watching the runners advance to the next base on the field. I tossed the softball into my right hand, getting ready for my next pitch. I swung my right arm back, forward and around my head, finally releasing the ball with my fingertips as I had been taught. I watched as the ball spun in the air, travelling higher and higher, and then as it dropped behind the umpire. “Ball one,” the umpire exclaimed. Three pitches later, the batter walked to first…

I was walking up to the baseball diamond at Hyatt Elementary. I was eating a greasy piece of pizza. I saw the dark clouds in the sky, but I didn’t expect the rain to come, because it was hot and muggy. This is because it was June of 2017.

Soon as we started to warm up the umpires stopped the game for 30 minutes,…
