Game: @ Quincy High School (4)

The second inning started with Sean at the plate, Chris on deck, and Tony in the hole. As they moved around to grab their gear and go, I settled into my seat and put the sweatshirt across my lap for a little extra warmth. All the excitement of the inning distracted me from the cold, but after the adrenaline dies down and there's not anything to do, the cold was creeping back in.

"How ya feeling, Jake?" Drew stopped before me.

"Not sick." I told him. Unlike last time, I wasn't very dizzy or nauseous. "I think I'm doing okay."

"More than okay!" Noah tacked on. "Didn't you see my boy here score our only run, and be moving all over the field??"

Drew chuckled. "Yes, he's playing quite well today. Keep it up." He nodded towards the far end of the dugout. "I'll be over with Julian, if you need me."

"How is Julian?" Noah blurted, holding Drew in place.
