The two chatted as I pulled my batting gloves off. I put them in my helmet and placed it on my bag, then picked up my bat. I frowned as I looked at the spot that hit the ball. Even though I made solid contact, it didn't sound like normal. I sighed. Probably have to retire this bat or save it for the cages.
"Did you break it?" Noah leaned over.
"No." I shook my head, then put the bat away in my bag. "But I probably shouldn't use that one anymore. It's okay. I brought two spares this time."
"What a hassle." Noah commented.
A loud 'ding' followed by gasps and cheers made everyone look out onto the field. Garret was already turned to come back to the dugout.
"What happened?" I asked.
"Line drive caught by the second baseman." Dave was the only one of us that was looking. He sighed. "That's too bad. Could have been a double if it got to that gap in the outfield." He rubbed his hands together. "Time to go give Garret some hell."
