Top of the second. Dave had to face the core of their lineup. He looked sharp, but San Marino was still able to make contact. First a grounder to me, but it was basic and easy to field for the first out. Then a short fly ball to right field. I hesitated for a second too long on whether I should chase it back like Noah usually does. Luckily, Jesse had a good read on it and had the speed to come sprinting forward to make a diving catch for the second out.
Batter six in the lineup had the best at bat so far, working a full count and fouling off a couple extra. On the twelfth pitch during his at bat, he pulled one to left field. Korrey ran back to the fence, but it was useless. The ball was gone. A solo shot to make the score 2-1.
You could hear their fans cheering all around. It was a little disheartening, but Noah wasn't the type to be bothered by outside noise.
