823 V3 ch58 (VS Balboa HS 6)

I didn't have time to eavesdrop or see what was going on. The bottom of the fifth started with Noah so I had to hurry to the on deck circle. My hurrying was insignificant though. The coach for the other team came out to tell the umpire of a pitching change so we had time. 

Noah backed off the plate and sauntered back my way. He didn't say anything to me, and just watched the new pitcher throw some practice pitches off the mound. Noah was solely concentrating on him. I don't know if it helped, but Noah was able to make contact on the first pitch, a high fastball. Noah had changed his swing and pulled the ball to left field. 

He started to run to first as the left fielder sprinted to get under the ball. The left fielder made the catch and Noah was out. Tsk. Great contact. 

Noah jogged back to the dugout and I moved to the batter's box. The catcher stood standing, not squatting behind home plate. My eye twitched.
