章 171: Game: VS Santa Fe HS (4)

Top of the sixth started with the ninth batter, who had a single off Kyle in the third inning. He didn't waste Kyle's perfect control and was able to connect with another one, sending it well over Noah's head. He sprinted, but I turned my attention to where the ball went to instead. Noah moved towards the grass to be a cutoff man, and I moved to the bag to cover the base. Zeke was the one to field the ball, and threw it to Noah. Noah turned to throw it to me, but the runner was already on second base, trying to catch his breath.

Noah sighed and threw the ball to Kyle on the mound. Kyle glared at the runner before turning to face the next batter. I was worried that he was going to give up a few more hits due to his frustration, but it just seemed to make him focus more. He struck out the next batter right away. Then a groundout to Chris for the second out. And then an easy pop up to me to end the inning. I was worried over nothing.
