V3 ch367 CIF Final: Branham HS (6)

Top of the fifth, bottom of Branham's batting lineup. The lefty hit a high bouncing grounder to Noah, but that was no trouble at all. Noah fielded it for the first out. The next batter smacked a ball high into left field and Logan had plenty of time to get underneath it and make the catch for the second out.

The pitcher was up to bat now. Compared to his previous at bat, this time he was putting up a battle, racking up quite a few foul balls. He finally got a piece of a fastball and it soared well over my head. I whipped my head back to see Brian racing back. He jumped for the ball and made the catch, coming down and stumbling over his own feet. But the ball stayed in the glove and that's all that matters.

I clapped my glove and headed back to the dugout with the others. Noah and I went to the cubby to change out our gear. We would both get a chance to hit this inning. Maybe more so him than me.
