CH 23

The first game of the season had Jace starting as pitcher.

The opposing team looked and Jace with dreadful eyes. Most of them had to go against Jace last year.

As if to make a statement that said I am here Jaces first pitch for the season was a fast ball down the center every ones radar gun read 118.

The first pitch made the batter nervous and took 2 more strikes with out swinging the bat.

The 2nd batter at least swung at his 3 pitches but missed all of them. The first two were curves that started outside the zone and ended up high and inside the zone. The last pitch was a low and away fast ball.

The third batter popped up a sinker to Theo making out 3. Sadly the first 3 batters for their team all got out.

Jace started tie 2nd inning out with a slider low and inside for a strike. The 2nd pitch was a high outside fork ball that was hit to Caleb for an out.

The 2nd bate swung at all 3 low and away curve balls. The 3rd batter hit a splitter for a fly out to the left fielder.

Theo was up to bat and go on with a double on the 2nd pitch. Caleb hit a single and Joe got walked.

Jace came to bat and first threw pitches were all balls. The next pitch was a high fast ball that Jace hit for a grand slam. Making the score 4 to 0.

The pitcher was replaced the next 2 got out and the next 1 got on but was left stranded.

At the top of the third Theo took the mound and Jace switched to catcher.

Theo got the first 2 to strike out and made the last batter hit a line drive to Joe. Joe threw the runner out at first.

The first batter and Theo both got a single. Caleb hit a sac fly and Joe got thrown out at first.

They walked Jace and the batter after Jace hit a double scoring 2 RBIs and put Jace on 3rd.

The pitcher threw a wild pitch and it got past the catcher allowing Jace to score.

Sadly the batter grounded out to 2nd on the next pitch. The top of the 4th the score was 7 to 0.

Theo got the next batter to hit a pop fly to the outfield. The next batter got a single off of him.

The whole team hollered at him not to worry Jace called for a high inside fast ball. it was a strike. Kace threw the ball hard to first.

He threw the runner out before he could get back to the bag. The next batter swung for the fences only to pop up to Jace for an easy out.

The 3 batters on first 3 batters on Jaces team got out. in the top of the 5th Jace was pulled from the game Theo went back to catching and one of the new pitchers got to pitch.

The game ended with a score of 12 to 2 at the bottom of the 6th
