a game worth from the beginnin' of the first inning. an essential day off since it's playoffs, and i'm playin' shortstop, batting in the line-up, the opposing pitcher's a right-hander with an wind-up. and a move to first, throws a curve, and changes speeds. can be at times and known to blow the strangest leads. like the last we faced him, he turned one savage lead into a for his team, and inflated his earned run average. but today he seems 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 like to takin' the same route, bringing the big hitters to the plate, and players that are speed, and try to runs and jump out to an early lead. and this time it worked, so we were need a hero, after one complete, the score's already 3 to 0. leadin' off the second, i at the first pitch. no wonder the center fielder back-peddled to the and settled under it. 0 for 1 and get goin'. the ball's thrown around the horn and 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 to have us figured out, the question is, can we compete? he's pitching perfect after 3 and has a 3-1 lead.
top of the fourth and our hitter makes it to first base. and we go, it's the worst-case for any opposing pitcher because he got a reckon that the first he gets, he's gonna try to steal second, he does. so for the first time during the mission, we've got nobody out and a man in position. the next batter out to right, but yo word, that's still only one out and a on third. so the number 3 hitter steps up to the conventional talk, where he'll hit, but draws the intentional walk. it's an old they made 'cause trouble may follow unless get the double play from the clean-up hitter and that's me. the set up a double play depth when they're ready, but i smack a line drive into left-center for a double, two across, which leaves 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 five past hits to pretense. we kept it close with a dazzling of defense. we had to pull the pitcher, the one that was left handed. the story of the sixth was base runners left stranded and bullpen activity. but 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 into the seventh stretch.
