Top of the second inning, we were back in the dugout and back on offense. Noah was first up...and first out. He struck out swinging at a high ball. I shook my head, but didn't know what to do to help. He didn't like the idea of batting left handed and it's not like that would have stopped the strikeout.
Sean was slightly better in his at-bat, in which he connected with the ball, but it was a line drive right to the third baseman. I don't know anything about Alex and how he hits so I turned to Noah to ask.
Noah shrugged. "How can I know? We play different positions. Plus I only watched varsity games because of my brothers. When would I see him?"
"I don't know...in a scrimmage? My middle school would do something like that. Divide the players into teams for small scrimmages." I never joined, but I would occasionally watch. That's where my limited baseball knowledge came from.
