Top of the fifth. Tanner started us off with a single, followed by a walk from Jason. The coach came out of the dugout again. He didn't signal for a pitcher change though. Instead, he went to the mound to talk to his pitcher. The catcher and shortstop joined the pair.
Mitchell and Dave were both on deck, talking to one another. Noah was in the hole and I hurried to join him.
"How much more you think we can rack up?" Noah asked me.
"I'm just hoping I get a chance this inning." I looked at him.
"Don't worry. I won't be the third out." Noah grinned. "I can't let Dave give me anymore grief."
I lowered my voice. "Just remind him how many hits you had against University. You didn't get out at all."
Noah held his head high. "You're right. My numbers for this tournament are steady."
I wanted to use this opportunity to bring up Garret's batting, but a quick look around, I saw that he was already coming over with his helmet on, bat in hand. He was eager too.
