Garret was up next. Two outs and just me on first. Since he was a good lefty batter too, I was looking forward to see what this Blake guy had in store for him. Would Garret only see two-seamers too?
The answer came on the first pitch. A regular fastball, with no movement. Garret had swung late and fouled it back for strike one. Pitch two was the two-seamer drifting outside. Garret got a piece of it and I took off.
Garret's hit was a grounder right to the shortstop. He scooped it up and stepped on second base before me, ending the inning. I had to turn back to the dugout.
"My bad." Garret admitted generously while taking his helmet off. We entered the dugout together with Coach Luis right behind us. "I didn't think he would throw a breaking ball so soon. I thought it was his deciding pitch against Bryce and Noah."
