Game: @ Golden West (1)

We finished warmups before the official start time. It was an evening game so plenty of parents and students and filled up their stands. And who could forget the scouts? By now, I could easily spot them. It helped that I knew Willie and spotted him sitting with a few older men. Almost a whole section was dedicated to scouts.

"They're definitely excited to see Zeke and Brady face one another." Noah told me as I put on my helmet.

As the visiting team, we would bat first. I grabbed my bat. "Do you think Zeke will do better than last time?"

"We didn't face Brady last time so it's hard to say." Noah shrugged.

I grimaced. We probably could have won if I didn't skip that game.

"Hey, hey. Don't mind it." Noah patted my back, pushing me forward. "Just focus on today's game. We'll kick butt, okay?"

I nodded. I then joined Julian out by the on deck circle. He would be batting right after me.
