Bottom of the fourth inning brought up Quincy's core power hitters. Garret and Kelvin were able to handle them though. Batter number four lined out to Mahki in left field. Batter five hit a grounder to me, which I had no trouble fielding. Then batter six hit an easy fly that Noah was able to track down by just backing up a few feet in the outfield grass.
Top of the fifth, we didn't do much either. Couldn't even get a baserunner. Chris struck out swinging. And Tony did the same. Noah moved to the batter's box and I moved to the on deck circle. But Noah's struggles continued, as he got into a groundout to the third baseman. It's strange that he can connect sometimes, but it's always to a fielder. It was like he couldn't find any open space.
Right before the bottom of the fifth, Coach pulled Garret aside. "This will be your last outing, then I'm pulling you."
Garret frowned. "Why? I'm doing fine. I've only given up one run."
