With a showdown set for the afternoon, there was a lot of smack talk going on. Noah, Ansar, and Cody were going to face Landon, Travis, and Adam. 

Noah nudged me. "Hey, what was playing in a game like?" The other guys leaned in too, eager to hear about my experience. 

"Uh...pretty much the same as always..?" I offered. "Seven innings. We warmed up, then played." Oh wait. "Pitchers only got to do an inning at a time." I told them. 

"That's kind of nice, but also not so nice." Landon sighed. 

"Why?" Dylan asked. 

"It's nice when you're facing a pitcher that's kicking your butt, because you'll get to see someone new on the mound. But then, you're facing someone completely new. No info on him at all. So stressful." Landon complained. 

"Jake has no trouble at all." Dylan laughed. "He beat up every pitcher he faced. The pitchers that didn't face him, had fared better."
