694 V2 ch166

Garret took advantage of Dave's sloppiness on the mound, pushing a single to left-center field. Kelvin hustled home and made it safely after another close call at the plate. Up 2-1. 

I stepped up. Right side. I think now is an appropriate time to show the others what I've been working on. There's already two outs and this game is just for fun. So why not try for that homerun? I took a deep breath and tried to relax my shoulders. Dave's pitching doesn't have a dramatic change like Kyle, but I want to get this ball out of here, I'll need the right pitch and hit it perfectly. 

Dave got set, checked on Garret at first, then started his motion. Knowing Dave...he would want to try to get ahead of the count after such a bad inning. I started my swing. Dave threw a fastball high, but still in the zone. I connected and blasted it back the way it came.
