I rounded the bases with a brisk jog, tagging home as I heard Dave yelling some compliments. I waved to acknowledge him.

"Sounds like you've got a one-man cheer squad." The second batter waited for me, holding out a fist.

I bumped it with a fist of my own. "Yea…it's my brother."

He grinned. "That's cool. I wish my siblings could be here too."

We went back to the dugout together. Ryan congratulated us, but besides him, not much was said from everyone else. It wasn't a team vibe at all. I pursed my lips together and went back to my bag to switch out my gear.

The whole morning scrimmage stayed rather quiet on our side as we powered through and beat on the pitchers that came against us. Cody did four innings of no-hit ball, showing off his high speed curveball.
