V2 ch219

Dave only had one more out to get. Unfortunately for him, Zeke was the next batter. Mitchell got up and jogged to the mound for a small meeting. Noah waved for the rest of us infielders to go in as well. We gathered on the mound. 

"It's your call, Dave." Mitchell said, not bothering to cover his mouth as he spoke. "You can face him or we can walk him and face Kelvin, who is 0-2 for today."

Dave grinned and squinted. "I'll take him on. I'm not one to back down from a fight."

"That's how it should be." Noah nodded in agreement. 

Sean shrugged. "At most, he can only score one run. We'll still have the lead."

Jason let out a small laugh. "Yo. Don't jinx him like that."

Dave wasn't bothered. "I didn't get to pitch against him last week. Might as well see if I improved at all." He waved us off the mound, sending us back to our positions.
