1068 V3 ch302 VS Servite HS (4)

*Third Person*

"Shit, that guy is tough." Mikey said as he took off his catcher's mask inside the visitors dugout. "You can't tell me that shit wasn't on purpose."

"What else could you expect from the best batter in the state?" Blake, a senior that played left field, said. "Accept the out and take it as a win. Cody's pitch count isn't sky high or anything."

"It's just bad news if you ask me." Mikey shook his head. 

"The bullpen is stocked and ready." Allen said, putting on his helmet. "You just know that Danny is itching for us to get to the end of the game already."

"He'll get his chance eventually." Coach Wilson said. "No matter what the score is, I want him to face Jake Atkins once today."

"Want to crush his spirit, Coach?" Someone asked, making a lot of guys laugh. It was well known among the team how intense and arrogant Danny can be. But that's what made him a good pitcher. He wasn't afraid of a challenge.
