Kyle finished his practice pitches and the bottom of the first started. The leadoff swung early, connecting on the first pitch. It was a routine grounder to Noah for the first out.
"One out!" Noah hollered. Other guys on the team echoed.
The ball was given back to Kyle on the mound. Kyle reset himself for the second batter. He led off with a fastball inside for a called strike. Then outside for a swing and miss. 0-2. Kyle threw high and outside, getting the batter to reach out, still swinging and missing. Strikeout.
Kyle and Mitchell worked around the zone some more for the third batter, getting to a 2-2 count before getting him to swing and miss on an inside ball. Second strikeout.
Three up, three down. Everyone jogged back to the dugout with some energy.
"Did you find his stats from last year?" Garret asked Alisha, drawing some attention from around the dugout.
