Garret and Noah told Coach about the confrontation as soon as we got back to the bus. 

Coach frowned. "I'm glad you guys didn't fall for something like that. I'm going to go talk to their coach and athletic director." He looked at me. "It's okay to play on your own time, but in your team jersey, don't mess around. Stick to team events like the game."

I nodded obediently. I had no intention taking on some stranger. Whose to say he won't throw a pitch at my head?

We boarded the bus after putting our bags below in storage and Coach left. 

Garret sat in the row across from us and faced our way as we got settled. "I think we have to be more careful with Jake."

I frowned. 

"He's not made of glass." Noah laughed.
