Capítulo 194: Game Two: Durham Preparatory (7)

Top of the fifth inning, Kyle had to start at the top of the lineup. His jitters continued as he allowed back to back singles, placing runners on first and second. He was able to strike the third batter out, bringing up the cleanup hitter.

The cleanup hitter was the one that reminded me of Zeke, with an overwhelming aura of 'I'm better than you'. He had previously hit the home run, plus he was also hit by Kyle's pitch in his second at bat.

Kelvin called time and walked up to the mound to share some words with Kyle. I peeked over at Noah to see if we should join, but he just shook his head. The talk didn't last long, just a few seconds before Kelvin went back to his spot. Then came the showdown.
