Bab 254: Game: @ Porterville HS (5)

I got into the lefty's box, dug my back foot in, and pulled my bat back. The score is only 4-0 at the top of the fourth. If we truly want that called game, then this would be the best opportunity out of any. Only one out with the bases loaded. As long as I don't pop out or ground into a double play, at least one run will score.

The pitcher was still wild, throwing me a couple of balls, pushing the count to 2-0. The third pitch didn't come right over the plate, but still in a good spot where I could guarantee to hit the ball passed the infield. The connection made my hands ache as the ball flew high and far. I took off running, watching it go.

I rounded first, as the bases started to clear, and was able to have a good look at my hit. It reached over the left fielder as he chased it down, and hit the edge of the top of the fence, bouncing back into the field. Home run? That's a home run right? When it hits the yellow line at the top of the fence, it means it's out of here!
