Mom held true to her word. We were given a small fry and a small onion ring to share. Yet, she also ordered three side salads. Noah rolled his eyes and refused. Dave graciously accepted, willing to eat anything. I didn't get a choice. Mom said I had to eat for the calorie count and I knew it too.
We stopped at the hotel so Noah and I could shower and change into clean clothes. We showed up to Zeke's game just barely on time. Rhys was on the mound, having just thrown the first pitch, a called strike.
"Get him, Rhys! You've got this!" Noah yelled excitedly as we walked to our seats.
"Let's go, Rhys, let's go!" Dave did a cheer and clapped.
The pair drew a lot of attention, making me want to dig a hole and hide. Instead, we found our seats and got comfortable. Rhys had a good start, striking out the first two batters before getting the third to fly out to Zeke in right field.
