章 181: Game One: Sunset Preparatory (3)

Our teammates greeted us with slaps on the backs, high fives, and smiles all around. We went back to our bags and switched out our gear. As I was putting on my hat, I heard the 'ding' of a bat hitting a ball. I turned to watch Garret run to first as the ball was fielded back to the infield. Zeke was held up at third.

Jordan stepped up to the plate next. I remember Noah saying he was one of the better batters, but only played in games where he would catch for Garret. It was a weird dynamic for me and I wanted to ask more about it, but that was all Noah knew.

"You boys ran well out there." Coach cake over to congratulate us. "Especially you Noah. I think you may be the fastest on the team. Besides some of the seniors. But you're aggressive out on the bases and that's what we need right now."

"Easy-peasy." Noah grinned.
