Game: @ Quincy High School (5)
I tried my best to focus on the batter too. If Jordan had signed for something, it would definitely be about the batter. Garret went through his motion and pitched an outside fastball. The batter didn't pull the bunt back; he just extended his arms and used the end of his bat to tap the ball forward.
Garret, as a left handed pitcher, had finished his whole motion and was facing the third baseline. The batter must have factored that in, because he placed the ball to come the opposite side of the mound. I hesitated, trying to remember if I should go get the ball or go cover first. With a glance to first, I saw that Sean had already covered the base, so I chose to sprint forward to get the ball that had died in the grass. The batter was almost to first by the time I picked up the ball, so in order to try and beat him, I threw my hardest. Ultimately, that led to bad aim. My throw went wide and Sean couldn't reach it. The runner was safe.
