CIF Quarterfinal: Northwood HS (9)

"You can't think like that!" Noah slapped me on the back. "We're still winning! One more inning to go!" 

"Yea!"

"Let's get them!"

"Start us off strong, Jason!"

The guys in the dugout were hyped as the game was in the final stretch. Noah and I went to sit in our normal spot so he could start putting on his helmet and stuff. 

"We're almost there." Noah grinned, tugging his batting gloves on before getting back up. 

"Do you think Brian is going to pitch the last inning?" I snuck a glance to the entrance of the dugout where Coach stood. Brian and Alex were chatting with him, but it was too hard to hear in our rowdy dugout. 

"Nope." Noah said with confidence. "Brian only gave up a run, but he gave up two hard hits. Coach won't risk that in the bottom of the inning. He'll bring someone in."

"Garret?" I asked, looking for him.
