Sean laughed. "Thanks for the vote in confidence, Jake. Hopefully I don't let you down."

I hope you don't let yourself down, I thought to myself. 

The umpire broke up the meeting on the mound and called me to plate. I chose to bat from the righty's side this time. Hoping for different results with a different choice. It didn't help. The first pitch went high, making the catcher pop up for it. The catcher threw the ball back, eyeing Garret on third. 

With two outs, I was in a tough spot. I couldn't do something risky like putting the ball into play. Any grounder, and I would be out. If there had been only one out, we could have tried another sacrifice bunt to get Garret to score.
