1131 V3 ch365 CIF Final: Branham HS (4)

"Can't believe they did you dirty like that." Noah told me, referring to my walk after getting down on strikes. "That's messed up. It would roast any and all of our pitchers who dared to do that. There's no defense against walks."

I smiled. "Yea, but it felt good seeing you score off Garret's hit."

"Of course." He stated proudly. "When I'm on second, I can make it home on any hit to the outfield." He pointed at Garret, who was on second now. "It's all about the lead. Look how far off he is. He knows it too. Pitchers don't like doing pickoff attempts to second. A lot can go wrong. It's better to focus your attention on the batter."

That didn't help this pitcher any. Sean hit a single to the right corner and Garret was on his way home, making the score 3-1. We all got up and cheered for our third straight RBI single.
