章節 395: Golden West @ Servite (5)

Top of the sixth. Servite was letting Sanchez stay in the game even though he's given up four hits and a walk. I guess as long as he doesn't give up a run, it wouldn't be right to take out a pitcher that's doing well. 

He started with the third batter in the lineup. The batter connected, but it was a grounder to second. The second baseman smoothly fielded it for the first out. 

"Do you think there'll be extra innings?" I asked Noah. 

"No way." Noah said. "Someone's bound to give up at some point. They're both good teams. And yea, both are good pitchers, but both have hitters."

As if to prove his point, the cleanup hitter for Golden West connected on a fastball, sending it out to the field. To the outfield. To the outfield fence. And then...over it. Home run!

Noah smirked at me as the Golden West fans cheered. "Called it."

I rolled my eyes. "You got lucky."
