章 834: V3 ch69 (VS Stuart Hall HS 3)

Dave was out, but our spirits weren't down. Noah, Sean, and Jason kept the conversation light with a couple of jokes while Bryce warmed up. He didn't do a full pre-game warmup, but the umpire did allow him quite a bit of time because of the unexpected injury to Dave. 

I scanned the crowd and saw that both Mom and Zeke had left their seats. Presumably to take Dave to a nearby hospital. 

Once Bryce was ready, the umpire called for the second batter to step into the batter's box, and for the game to resume. The rest of our team was in position, ready to get going again. 

Bryce started the batter off with a fastball outside. The batter swung and got a piece of it, hitting a hard grounder to Sean's right. Both runners took off. Sean made a diving stop, jumped up and threw to Noah, who was covering second base, to get the first out. Noah threw the ball back to Sean, who hurried to cover first base. The batter was out as well. A 3-6-3 double play.
