The pitcher didn't perform well against Travis or the guy after him. Both had gotten off solid hits and it was hard to tell if fielders would have been able to help get them out or not. The pitcher was changed out for a new one.
I sighed with relief. Now he has some time to rest and get his head on straight. A part of me was itching to apologize, but Noah was right, it's part of the game.
I watched as our group moved through another round. After Noah went up, I went to the back of the line and no one said anything about it. They probably overheard me when I told Noah what Coach Leroy said. Noah came to the end of the line and cut back in front of me. Travis went after him and then lined up behind me.
We repeated our actions one more time as everyone got to bat for the third time. Everyone but me.
