Noah and Brian were the only ones that fully played the JV game. The rest of us starters became benchwarmers and cheer squad of sorts. Especially when Sean and Bryce joined us. They were the loudest and knew what to say. We won the game 7-0 with Brian throwing all seven innings. He only gave up two hits, no walks, with ten strikeouts. Noah got another hit, Sean finally got his first. Korrey was the only varsity player that didn't get a hit.ย
Everyone in the dugout could tell he was frustrated after his third fly out of the game. Mr. Miller held him back for a private talk, leaving the rest of us to clean up the dugout and field. Being a varsity member from the start, I never had to intentionally take care of the field. There was always Mr. Miller waving us off. I thought Noah would be as clueless as me, but he actually took the lead and divided up the jobs among us.ย
