735 V2 ch207

Bryce continued to struggle in the first inning. It was rough all around. Him and Ethan weren't on the same page; mix in a couple of fielding errors and it's a recipe for a disaster. 

I had scored long ago and was sitting beside Noah, watching this horror show. Just as we were thinking that we could possibly have another at-bat in the first inning, the other team pulled off a double play to end it. 

"Brutal." Noah commented as we grabbed our gloves and hit the field. 

"Yea." I agreed. "I'm surprised how well he took it."

"Bryce has a good temperament." Noah said. "He doesn't know how to speak to his catchers though, because he's always been the underclassmen to the seniors. Now that he's a junior, he has to tell the younger catchers what to do and what to expect."

I nodded along. Bryce had to be like Garret and really guide Ethan. Or it's going to be a long game.
