บท 647: Thief (1)

'That bastard…' Brady thought, gnashing his teeth.

With only 1 out for the inning, Ken had taken a risk by stealing 2nd base. If it had been any other pitch apart from the curveball, Brady was confident in reacting to the steal in time, netting them an easy out.

He was even confident that Landon on 2nd base would be able to throw back to him in time to prevent the runner on 3rd from stealing home.

Unfortunately, this series of events just happened to not go in their favor. Now the Dodgers were behind in the count with both runners in scoring position.

Brady thought for a while, his eyes moving to Max in the batters box.

'First base is open, we may as well walk this guy.' He thought, throwing the ball back to Cade on the mound. In the next moment he stood up and held his glove out to the right, indicating for an intentional walk.
