Twenty-Five

“Now up for the Chicago Cubs number 25, Kenny ‘The Prince’ Alvarez,” said the announcer. I thought to myself, okay, it’s the bottom of the 8th inning with two outs and bases loaded. All I need to do is get one run home. I get up to the plate and the shortstop said, “Move in easy out.” That made me get up there and just wanted to hit it at that shortstop and hope he misses it.

Phhp.

“Strike 1!”shouted the umpire. I stepped out of the box and then into the box. I got my game face on. The next pitch was right down the middle, I swung and I hit straight to the shortstop. It took a short hop and went over his head. One score came in and then another.It’s now 8-2, Chicago White Sox.Next guy up hammered it to deep left field but then the left fielder caught it. I looked back at the team and said, “we can still win this game,”I influenced.The next inning they scored 19 runs and we scored the big donut hole.The final score 27-2. The whole team screamed to me”you're not a captain if anything you can’t play baseball are team would be undefeated if you could catch a ball or hit a ball.”

After that I went to the best baseball camp in the country.

“Hello sir how may I help you?”asked Jeff the cashier.

“I want to sign up for the Baseball Academy,”I said.After I signed up for the Baseball Academy my baseball skills shot up.I was hitting and fielding better.In my last 50 at bats I have gone 48/50. Finally it was the championship and I was on fire. It was the bottom of the fifth inning I was up.Phhp.

“Whoah that almost hit me”,I whispered. Bam it hit me the next pitch.I was knocked unconscious. Bottom of the 9th inning.BAM!He hits a homerun.Everybody is celebrating but me cause I’m in the dugout.
