Game: VS Redwood High School (8)

Mahki, who came up next, didn't come up with anything. He popped out to the right fielder to end the inning, yet this time there were no sighs of disappointment since we already had the lead again. The dugout was filled with relief and excitement.

As I was heading in, most of the starters were headed out to their fielding positions. A lot of them patted me on the helmet or the back, but I didn't shy away. It was just in passing and they weren't crowding me so there was nothing to fear.

Noah waited for me by our bags, a giant smile across his face. "That was awesome! I knew you could do it!"

I took my helmet off and put on my cap, grabbing my glove too. "I wish I could run like you though. You scored from first off my double."

We moved to the field, getting ready to get in our own positions. "Hey! Don't try and steal my only talent." He fake pouted.
