a game worth winnin' from the of the first inning. an day off since it's provincial playoffs, and i'm playin' shortstop, batting in the line-up, the pitcher's a right-hander with an unorthodox wind-up. and a good move to first, throws a curve, and speeds. can be at times and known to blow the strangest leads. the last time we faced him, he turned one savage lead into a for his team, and inflated his earned run average. but today he seems focused and we stuck out to dry in the top of the first he struck out the side. but in the half, the bad guys came out swingin'. a lot of coaches like to choose takin' the route, bringing the big hitters to the plate, and that are purely speed, and try to manufacture and jump out to an early lead. and this it worked, so we were gonna need a hero, 'cause after one complete, the already 3 to 0. off the second, i swung at the first pitch. no wonder the fielder back-peddled to the track and settled under it. 0 for 1 and get goin'. the ball's thrown around the horn and back to the now. and all is good for the bad guys, but not so hot for the visitors. the big is takin' no prisoners. he seems to have us out, the question is, can we compete? he's pitching after 3 complete and has a 3-1 lead.
top of the fourth and our hitter makes it to first base. and here we go, it's the scenario for any opposing pitcher he got a reckon that the first he gets, he's gonna try to steal second, which he does. so for the first during the mission, we've got nobody out and a man in position. the batter flies out to right, but yo word, that's still one out and a runner on third. so then the 3 hitter steps up to the conventional talk, showin' where he'll hit, but the intentional walk. it's an old maneuver they 'cause trouble may follow unless they get the double play from the hitter and that's me. the infielder's set up a double play depth when ready, but i smack a drive into left-center for a double, bringing two across, which just leaves it up to me to do the damage in the spot, 'cause now the was 3 to 2. the remained the same through five past hits to pretense. we kept it close with a dazzling of defense. we had to pull the starting pitcher, the one was left handed. the story of the sixth inning was base left stranded and activity. but still the job is gettin' it done a perfectly executed hit and run and what may later prove to be the ultimate catch. we got a tie game going the seventh inning stretch.
