809 V3 ch44 (VS Bayhill HS 4)

Jason got jammed early in the count, hitting a short fly ball to left field. Mitchell followed it with a weak grounder to short. Two outs and we're back to the top of the lineup. Noah took some swings as he got to the batter's box. Sean moved to the on deck circle while I was in the hole with Garret right beside me. 

Noah knocked his bat against his cleats before officially stepping in the box. He eyed the pitcher, holding his bat back steadily. First pitch, low and inside for a called strike. Second pitch had a similar trajectory, but Noah fouled it off for strike two. Third pitch was a high fastball; exactly what Noah was looking for. Noah made perfect contact despite it being above the strike zone. He hit a line drive that dropped way before the right fielder could get to it. A solid single.
