The Hitting Zone

After a near death experience thanks to his own mother, Jake Hollander has an adverse reaction to people, baseball, and family. His feeling of abandonment is slowly lost thanks to his foster family, The Atkins. They take him in and change his mind about everything. He becomes more open, better at baseball, and craves for family. Slowly all wishes are granted.

Game: VS Lincoln High School (1)

"You look even more stiff than before your first game." Noah laughed as we jogged back to the dugout after finishing pregame warmups. It was Wednesday, about five in the evening. We all went through school and then straight to the field afterwards to start warmups.

"You know how many times I had to practice sliding?? My back, abs, quads, and hamstrings are all super sore." I huffed. Yesterday was one of the worse days with Drew, ever. Even though we only worked on sliding, it was because we ONLY WORKED ON SLIDING. I still couldn't get up to his standards.

Noah laughed at my complaints. "It'll make you a better player so just keep working at it." We grabbed our gloves and moved to the exit of the dugout, ready to run out on the field with the rest of the starters.

For our home opener, Coach went with the following lineup:

1 SS Noah Atkins

2 2B Jake Hollander

3 RF Sean Isner

4 CF Zeke Atkins

5 1B Julian Wilson

6 LF Mahki Holstrom

7 P Kyle Atkins

8 C Kelvin Bender
