The Hitting Zone

The new pitcher was finally ready to restart the first inning. He wasn't as wild as the last guy...but our batters were able to make contact. Garret was the best, hitting a hard line drive...right to their shortstop. We could only sigh. Jason and Korrey hit similar fly balls, both to left field. The pitcher wasn't dominant, but good enough to get the batters out and get his team out of the inning.

We went to the top of the second with a 3-0 lead. The cleanup hitter led them off right, hitting a single right up the middle. Noah and I had no chance at it. Dave didn't let it get to him. He put his attention on the next batter, only occasionally checking the runner on first.

With Sean holding the runner at first, I shifted more towards him, trying to cover the hole he was leaving.
