Game: @ Lassen Union HS (7)

Batter number five was first up, hitting a hard grounder between me and Sean. Sean was quick to dive at it, making sure it didn't reach the outfield grass. I paused not sure what to do since I expected that I would have to field the grounder.

Sean glanced back at me with a look of surprise. I looked back at him, still confused.

"Sean! Here!" Matt yelled out as he raced the batter to first base.

Sean threw it to him underhanded. Matt caught it and tagged first just one step before the batter.

"Out!" The first base ump pumped his fist.

Sean got up on his feet and walked over to me. "Uh, Jake? I'm no pro at first base, but weren't you supposed to cover if I got the ball?"

"Was I?" I blinked, not sure.

"It's fine." Matt came over, towering over both of us. "I covered. On a grounder to the first baseman, either you or I can go cover the bag, depending on who's closest."

Oh. I was closest...
