Game Three: University Preparatory H.S. (3)

Top of the second, Garret stepped up to bat, Julian got in the on deck circle, and Sean was in the hole. I took off my glove and placed it beside me, thinking about all the things I wanted to ask Noah.

Garret struck out on three pitches before I figured out what to say, and then the crowd cheered for the pitcher, reminding me. I poked Noah. "Is University Preparatory nearby? They have a lot of fans here."

Noah sighed. "They're about an hour from here, but still closer than us. But not all are fans. I told you before that this is a big tournament with some pretty good teams with elite players. There are plenty of scouts that come to watch. College and professional scouts." He gestured to the opposing team's dugout. "University Preparatory is THE best baseball school in the CIF Northern Section division one. You know how Zeke is the best player in our county?"
