First Game (1)

WHOOOOOSH

PAH

"Strikeout!"

Steve swung for the hills, missing the ball by a hairs breadth. While the last two strikes had been questionable, this one was 100% a ball. With the pressure of a potential overtime training session with Ken looming over his head, he had swung.

The guy looked like he had just lost his life savings as he returned to the dugout in despair.

The coach pat his shoulder, "Don't worry, you'll hit the next one." He said consolingly. Inwardly he was a little surprised that the guy was worked up about a single miss, but he just chalked it up to his competitive spirit.

"HAHAHA that's what you get!" Brian laughed maniacally as he saw Steve's morose expression.

"Shut up…" He replied, tossing his helmet onto the bench in a depressed manner. "The umpire forgot his glasses this morning."
