Dave came out strong and fast. He got the first two batters to strike out, completely whiffing. The third batter did a smidge better, making contact and lifting the ball to left field. Jesse was there to get underneath it and caught the ball with ease.
Noah and I jogged back to our dugout together.
"I know where everyone is." He told me in a low voice as we switched our hats for helmets.
I raised an eyebrow, unsure of what he was talking about.
"Mom and Dad. Rhys and Zeke." He dropped his voice to a light whisper. "Jeremy and Rose."
"Oh?" I put my glove on the bench and picked up my bat.
Noah tugged his batting gloves on, picked up his bat, then led the way back to the dugout entrance. He paused before stepping out. "Look just past left field. I noticed them when Jesse was making that catch." He stepped out and started to take some practice swings.
