章 838: V3 ch73 (VS Stuart Hall HS 7)

Sean took a deep breath before heading for the batter's box. Noah passed me by on his way back inside the dugout as I headed outside for the on deck circle. I held out my hand for a high-five and he obliged. 

Sean had previously hit a single in his last at-bat so there was a certain level of excitement as he came up with a runner on third. We could take the lead back as soon as we lost it. 

The pitcher, as a righty, was able to easily do some check throws to the third baseman, keeping Jesse closer to the bag. After two, the pitcher threw his fastball right down the middle, but Sean whiffed. 0-1. Another check throw. There were some audible 'boos' as the ball was thrown. 

"Face the batter head on!" Some man yelled from the stands. I glanced his way, but couldn't spot the man.
