42 Innings

We were in the dugout and it was the 6th inning and all us boys smelt pitiful,were happy, loud, and crazy.

We were in the semi finals and lost so we got 3rd, but our coach told us after the game that we were going to the world Series in Dallas,Tx.

We left and headed up to Dallas with humongous smiles on our faces. We were invited to go and watch the Texas Rangers against the Athletics in Texas for “FREE”.

After the game we went back to the hotel and went to sleep. It was the next day and we had our 1st game that day so we went to the field and played the panthers and tied them 6 to 6. Our coach said “you all should have beat them but I think you all were nervous”.

It was the 5th game out of 7 and if we won this game we would be first seed and that meant we would automatically go to the championship game , which that meant that we would get a trophy that was glass , and we would move up to AAA which is a better league with harder teams.

It was the championship day and we were pumped and ready to play ball, then all the sudden our friends that have spent lots of money on our baseball team believing that we could get to this point showed up at our hotel . We were amazed and so we headed out for our game. The team we were playing we beat to get 1st seed and they were our friends.

It was the first game and they beat us 12 to 6 so we both had 1 lose so we had to play them again and I was playing 1st base and Peyton Johnson was playing catcher and there was a fly ball so we both called it but we collided into each other expect Peyton had gear on so he was not hurt , but his shin guard hit me in the ribs and bruised. After that we got out of the inning and scored 2 runs but they beat us by 5.

Our coach told us ‘‘never give up even when you want to’’.
