Garret was set to throw the first pitch of the game and started off with a swinging strike. He continued to throw fast and his pitches did have location like Dave said. He was able to send the first three batters down in order: groundout to short, strikeout, and another groundout to short.
"That should have been me." Noah pouted as we watch Daniel get the third and final out by throwing to Julian.
"You didn't have to skip practice." I replied, looking at my fingertips. "Zeke said so. I would have been okay with just your parents and Dr. Moore."
Noah patted my back. "I'm not blaming you, Jake. I'm just a little sad. Give me a hundred repeats and I would still stay home with you. We're friends. Wouldn't you stay with me if I was upset?"
I nodded and looked up. "Yea, but that's because you're never upset."
