Brian gave up a single right after that, but there was no worry. The next guy hit a grounder right to Jason. Jason threw to Noah at second, Noah stepped on second base, and threw to Sean at first. Double play to end the inning. The guys came running back to the dugout.
Top of the third, bottom of our lineup. Mitchell was slow to get his catcher's gear off. Brian even beat him outside the dugout, already taking practice swings. Mitchell came out second, yet was first up to bat. His at bat was a short grounder to second for the first out. Brian came up next, Dalton moved to the on deck circle, while Noah stood near me and Alisha.
Noah didn't say much, keeping his eyes on the field, watching the pitcher. Brian hit a solid single to center field and stood on first as Dalton stepped up to bat.
