Top of the third inning, our team took the field. Garret stepped on the mound and started to throw some practice pitches to Jordan.
"At least Garret is doing better than that Brett guy." Kyle commented. "One hit versus no hits."
Noah rolled his eyes. "Stop thinking like a pitcher and comparing stats. What we need is to score."
Garret was able to get the seventh batter to groundout to John at second. And then struck out the eighth batter.
"Now he's even beating him in strikeouts." Dave added.
Unfortunately, he couldn't keep up the perfect game and gave up a single to the ninth batter, bringing up Brett McCauley. For a sophomore, I felt that Brett was pretty tall compared to Sean. He stood in the box and faced down Garret.
"Get him, Gare!" Jason hollered. The rest of us bench guys clapped and cheered as well to bring life to the game. The stands only held parents since it was a weekend and the students wouldn't usually come, especially for a mid morning game.
