章 989: V3 ch223 @ Servite HS (4)

It looked a little promising when Cody walked Jason to start off the fifth. But then it seemed like Cody had switched gears...or tactics I guess. He struck out Korrey on three pitches; all three pitches were his curveball. 

"Does he think his fastball is not effective suddenly?" Noah mumbled. 

"Maybe the fastball is losing speed." Garret threw in his opinion. "And because he's losing speed, he's overthrowing and that's why Jason got walked."

Mitchell struck out too. Three curveballs. 

"Kyle doesn't have a chance." Noah sighed, taking off his helmet. He was supposed to be in the hole. But the matchup wasn't good. We wasted another baserunner. " He looked at me. "Is there a secret to hitting a curve?"

I sincerely thought about it. 

"Normally you would avoid the curve and aim to attack a fastball." Garret said.
