CH 16

It was finally play off time and Theos first game he was the starting pitcher.

When both teams were on the field Janine Steve and Brittany were screaming as loud as they could for Theo.

Theo looked behind him and felt reassured when he saw his 2 best friends and his brother there.

When he heard the screaming he was embarrassed but he had no time he had to concentrate.

For his first pitch ever he threw a sinker to the low outside corner and it was a called strike.

The other team wasnt prepared for him. There was no data on him. While he couldnt throw as hard as Jace the sinker still dropped really fast.

This caused his dugout to explode with cheers. The next pitch was hit over the 2nd baseman's head but Jace used all of his abilities and dove foward to catch the ball.

He struck out the next 2 with 10 pitches. The opposing team was rattled but still thought they could hold then to no runs this inning. Since Jace now batted 4th.

In Theo's dugout he got a lot of plays on the back before he went up to bat.

He took 2 called strikes cause he was nervous. After that he battled for a full count then got on with a line drive down the 3rd base line.

Caleb got walked. On Joe's first pitch both Theo and Caleb stole a base. Joe then got a on with a single.

Jace came up to the plate and gave the 3 on base the sign for fun on the first pitch.

The first pitch was a low outside fast ball. Jace hit it as hard as he could and it was gone for a grand slam.

At the top of the 4th Theo started to get tired and was subbed out for Jace the score was now 6 to 2 with 1 out runners on 3rd and 2nd.

Jace, Caleb, and Joe walked up to Theo when they were changing pitchers and told him he did good for his first time up and that he would get better the more he improved his stamina.

When Theo made it to the dugout the other teams nightmare began. It looked like the other team was being punished for the rest of the game.

None of the opposing batters got more than 3 balls thrown to them. Making all their stats go down.

The final score was 9 to 2. They had a double header Witch Jace started since his pitch count was low.

Jace shut the other team down for 5 innings and it ended up being a called game. But the mood was soured with Matt getting injured on his last at bat.

Matt got a double but when he slid into 2nd the baseman lost his balance trying to tag him out and landed on his leg breaking it. The runner on 3rd scored with the next at bat ending the game.
