As expected, I sighed to myself as I walked back to the dugout. That station was my biggest weakness. We had just finished the baserunning and stealing at the JV field, and I definitely flunked. At most, maybe they would give me a D-. I did try after all. Effort has to count for something.

Garret and Tanner were still snickering with each other at my expense. My slides were uncoordinated and ugly, and running wasn't my strong suit.

"Dang, it's really a wonder how you made the varsity team to begin with." Garret laughed. "If you didn't hit my own pitching, I'd want you off the team too. At least you provide comedic relief now."

I started to fast walk, trying to distance myself from the pair.

"Aw! No need to be embarrassed, Jakey!" Garret called out after me.

"Leave the poor kid alone." Tanner said between laughs. "Can't you see that he's had a hard day."

I hurried to the dugout and rushed to my bag.
