If your in it to win it

6th inning

I’m at the baseball fields.The Championship game if we win this we get first place. Playing baseball,people SCREAMING in the crowd. I know he’s going to steal second. My heart is pumping. I’m sweating,nervous,but I know I could throw him out. The pitcher looks at first base then throws the ball. The runner is running to second. I stand up and throw the ball down to second almost hit the pitcher but he just moved out of the way.

Present-Starting of the game

I drive up to the baseball fields unpacking my gear and catching gear. I get my Gatorade to go down the field. I put my bag on the fence gate. I tell coach Cory to warm-up with me. He has a ball and we go warm-up. My dad said,“You are going to catch” I mostly already knew that.

After I warmed-up the pitcher throws to me before the game started Cade Wheat is the pitcher. He throws me three pitches then I say “Coming down on two”.The first pitch came,then I threw it back and then the next pitch came Cade moved and I threw it down to second. My coach spoke to me,“Awesome throw down’’. The batter stepped up to the plate. The batter swings at the first pitch for a strike. The next pitch he hits it to second baseman. He gets the batter out. The next batter comes up. I tell Cade “Throw it low and outside’’. I know that this batter can hit hard, all the way to the fence. First pitch ball. Second pitch strike. Third pitch line shout to third. I tell everyone,“Two outs plays at first”. The third batter is up to bat. Cade throws it right down the middle the kid hits it right over the first baseman. The kid gets a double. I’m worried, but it’s only the first inning. The next batter is up. Cade looks at second then throws the ball. “The runner is running the players say’’. I get the ball throw it down to third base. The ump yelled “He’s out”. We go back in the dugout. They got three up three down on us.

The first pitch comes it’s a change-up right down the middle I hit it right in the gap of right center. I round first going to second I slide in for a double. The coach told me “Great hit also steal”. I nodded “Ok’’. The pitcher throws it I steal and make it safe. The pitcher throws the next pitch Cade hit a grounder to second but I make it home. It’s 1-0.
