章節 170: Game: VS Santa Fe HS (3)

Kyle took the mound for the third inning, and continued to show great control. Groundout to short. Single. A groundout right to Julian at first base. And then another groundout to Noah at shortstop.

The bottom of the third inning brought up the top of our lineup once again. I stared at Noah pointedly as I put my helmet on. "'I'll be batting in front of you once the game gets going.'" I mocked his earlier words while raising an eyebrow.

Noah waved me off. "My bad. Won't happen again."

I tilted my head.

"Okay, okay. I'll make sure to get on base next time."

I nodded, satisfied. Grabbing my wooden bat, I headed for home plate. After a peek at Zeke, who tapped his nose, I worked on getting my second walk of the day.
