"Yea, yea." Tanner gave him a small push. "How about you go get ready for your at bat so we can get this win already?"

"Yea!" A few guys echoed. 

Dave laughed and rushed to his bag. Noah and I were doing the same. Dave and Noah left the dugout together and I was right behind them in the hole. 

Nearby Sean and Garret sat on the bench, talking about tomorrow. Everyone seemed to feel that we had this game wrapped up. We were going to the semifinals in one of the most elite tournaments in the state. 

Garret caught me looking his way and waved for me to join them. 

I shuffled my feet on over, feeling a little worried that he was going to tell me that he was hurt and wouldn't be able to play tomorrow. 

"Don't look so anxious, Bambi." Garret got up and gave my back a solid pat. "I'm not fragile. Coach just wants me to take it easy. This game is as good as done."

My lips twitched. "Zeke would never say that."
