Game: @ Servite (7)

Top of the fifth started with our bottom three: Jason, Alex, and now Tanner. Jason didn't start us off on the right foot by striking out, but Alex crushed one into the outfield fence for a double to liven up the dugout. Tanner moved to the batter's box as Noah took over the on deck circle.

I stood by the entrance, helmet on, bat in hands, eager for another at-bat. 

"Do you think they'll keep Sanchez in since they have a lead?" I heard Garret asked. I turned around to see who he was talking to, only to find him looking down at me. 

I shrugged. "I don't know."

"Just tell me what you think." Garret said with a smile. 

I blinked. My brain went empty as my thoughts were nonexistent. "I don't really think about the opposing team's pitching tactics."

Garret laughed, patting my shoulder. "Typical of a batting prodigy."

I blushed. 

"No need to be shy." He laughed some more.
