833 V3 ch68 (VS Stuart Hall HS 2)

According to Coach, the home team of the finals game was decided by a simple coin toss. 50/50 chance and we lost. Technically. As consolation, we got to pick our dugout first, and we went with the third base side. 

Noah, Sean, and I would be the first three up to start the inning and game. Garret got prepared as well, tugging on his batting gloves while standing with me beside the dugout entrance. 

"Hey, Coach, know anything about this pitcher?" Garret greeted Coach as he took his usual spot near the front. 

Coach gave a short nod. "Pitched on Friday. Complete game shutout."

Garret let out a low whistle. "This team has as many good pitchers as us?"

"They would have to, in order to get this far." Coach gestured to the game that was starting. "Pay attention. Take notes. Don't be a sitting duck in the batter's box."
