Coach followed through on his word and made Friday's practice light. It was more of a walk through and he even tried us at different positions. To say outfield isn't the place for me is an understatement. There's just too much ground to cover and I was clumsy and my anxiety would always skyrocket when the ball was high in the air.
Noah, on the other hand, was just a mini Zeke, making diving grabs look easy. He also had a strong enough arm to throw to the pitcher's mound. Before I let myself get drowned by the raging jealousy I felt, I reminded myself that we all have a skill that we excell in. Mine was batting...and Noah's was everything else.
On Saturday, the team traveled to Modoc High School, over an hour away. Coach told us the lineup before warm ups...and he definitely changed things up. I was set to be on the bench. Along with Zeke, the twins, Garret, and the injured Kelvin.
