Chapter 28

Joe came up to bat with Scott on first base. A fly ball to right field was good for a single and advanced Scott to third.

Ed approached the plate and leaned into his batting stance. The pitcher, whose name he’d learned was George, threw the ball, a little high and inside, but within the strike zone. Ed connected, sending a bouncing grounder toward Stan at third. Ed raced for first, hoping Joe would be able to beat the throw to second.

As he approached first base, the crowd let out a collective gasp immediately after the thump of the ball reached its target at second. Ed crossed first base safely before turning to see if Joe had made it or not.

He saw Joe on the ground, pulling up onto his knees from a diving slide position. His left hand covered a spot on the left side of his back, while his right hand moved first to his stomach, then back to the ground to support himself as he vomited.
