Chapitre 325: Game: @ Quincy High School (3)

Drew finished giving me a quick look over just as Mahki made the final out by flying out to right field. I went back to my bag to grab my glove and hat before going out onto the field to do a warmup.

Garret was on the mound, a serious expression across his face as he threw a couple of pitches to Jordan. The umpire only gave us two minutes before asking for the game to resume. 

The first batter for Quincy stepped into the righty's box and was set to swing. Garret started with his signature cutter, getting the guy to swing for strike one. The next pitch came inside and he held back from swinging getting a ball. I wasn't worried at first since it was normal for pitchers to throw the occasional ball out of the zone, but by the 3-1 count, I wasn't sure if Garret was doing this intentionally. 

"Ball. Ball four. Take your base!" The ump called out loudly. The batter dropped his bat and jogged to first.
