990 V3 ch224 @ Servite HS (5)

The umpire had to break up the meeting on the mound to get the game to resume. All the players went back to their positions and Garret was called to the plate. He left me in the circle and casually got set in the batter's box. Mr. Miller signed for everyone to wait and see. 

Cody got set. Checked the runners then threw his first pitch to Garret. A fastball inside for a ball. 1-0. The catcher threw the ball back. Cody repeatedly looked around to check Bryce and Noah at second and first. 

Mr. Miller gave the sign for Garret to swing only after he has seen a strike. The pitcher may be wild or tired. Pitch two fell in for a called strike to clear that up. Garret had the green light to swing. The runners have to pay attention if it's in the air or on the ground. 

With the count at 1-1, Garret swung at the next fastball he saw, blasting it dead center. 

"Go, go, go!"

"It's gone!"

"It's short!"

"Catch it!"
