V2 ch156

The field only had bleachers behind home plate and it was rather full. Especially for a game between two teams ranked five and six. As the higher ranked team, Noah would be the home team. I looked for him as soon as we got close enough. 

"Zeke! Jake! Over here!" I heard Rhys calling for us. I scanned the bleachers and found him near the front, towards the home dugout side. 

Zeke led the way, sitting next to Rhys and leaving me a spot on the end. "What inning is it?"

"Top of the fourth, two outs." Rhys answered. 

I dropped my bag on the ground and sat beside Zeke, feeling a little uneasy with being in the crowded stand. They were a mix of players and coaches. Maybe a few scouts. I couldn't tell. 

"How was your game, Jake?" Rhys peeked over to ask. 

"Fine." I shrugged. Then frowned. "Well...I could have done better."
