Luyện nghe bài hát The Blues, Pt. 1

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 opposing a right-hander with an unorthodox wind-up.
and a good move to first, a curve, and changes speeds.
can be at times and known to blow the strangest leads.
like the time we faced him, he turned one savage
lead into a for his team, and inflated his earned run average.
but today he focused and we were stuck out to dry
in the top of the 'cause he struck out the side.
but in the bottom half, the bad came out swingin'.
a lot of coaches to choose takin' the same route,
bringing the big hitters to the plate, and that are purely speed,
and try to runs 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.
leadin' off the second, i swung at the pitch.
no wonder the center fielder back-peddled to the track and under it.
0 for 1 and get goin'.
the ball's thrown the horn and back to the pitcher now.
and all is going for the bad guys, but not so hot for the visitors.
the big right-hander is no prisoners.
he seems to have us out, the question is, can we compete?
he's pitching perfect 3 complete and has a 3-1 lead.

top of the fourth and our lead-off hitter makes it to base.
and here we go, the worst-case
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 time the mission,
we've got out and a man in scoring position.
the batter flies out to right, but yo word,
that's still only one out and a on third.
so then the 3 hitter steps up to the conventional talk,
showin' where hit, but draws the intentional walk.
it's an old maneuver they 'cause trouble may follow
they get the double play from the clean-up hitter and that's me.
the infielder's set up a play depth when they're ready,
but i smack a line drive into left-center for a double, two across,
which just it up to me to do the damage in the clean-up spot,
'cause now the was 3 to 2.
the score remained the same through past hits to pretense.
we kept it close with a display of defense.
we had to pull the starting pitcher, the one was left handed.
the story of the sixth inning was base runners stranded
and bullpen activity. but still the job is it done
a perfectly executed hit and run
and may later prove to be the ultimate game-winning catch.
we got a tie going into the seventh inning stretch.
