Top of the second. Jason flew out to center. Bryce hit a single to left field followed by Mitchell's walk. Shasta's coach came out and did a pitcher change early on. Clearly this wasn't the same guy from last year. With two on, one out, and a new pitcher on the mound, Dalton got jammed and popped up a ball to the left of third base in foul territory. The third baseman ran over and made the catch for the second out.
I came up to the plate, two on, two out. I was wondering if they were going to walk me to load the bases, but after seeing the first pitch for a called strike, I had confirmed that they were facing me head on. Which makes sense I guess. Garret behind me had already hit a homerun. They wouldn't want to load the bases for him. I smiled. This is what Coach was hoping for.
