I play in Chicago for Whitney Young High School. I play 3rd base for the freshmen team and today was our first game.
1st at bat: Ran the count to 2-2. I knew the hook was coming and I sat on it. He threw the duece, and it was outside, but the ump didn't think so, so he rung me up. I didn't like that...
2nd at bat: On the 1-0 pitch, he threw a fastball outside and I smashed it into right-center. I got a triple on that one.
3rd at bat: Popped out to second base. They brought in a flamethrower in the later innings, so I was happy to just put the bat on the ball.
My fielding was great (not to brag) , I had 4 put-outs, and no errors.
We played Mt. Carmel's Sophmore B team and we got beat 11-0. I still had fun though.
