I fielded the ball at second base, throwing it to my friend, Tara, our first base player.
"Out!" The umpire calls.
"Yeah!" My team cheers. It was the third out. I smile and shake my head. I walk over to Tara and pat her on the back.
"Good catch our there." I smile.
"Good throw." She laughs. I giggle.
"Y/N, Lucy, and Tara, you're our first hitters this inning." Our coach calls. "Y/N, you're leading us off." I nod.
"Let's get some hits, girls!" Bella calls.
We all cheer. I slip on my helmet and grab my bat. I let the pitcher get some warm up throws. Coach calls me over.
"Y/N, you're one of the best hitters on the team," he starts. I smile lightly. "I want you to go through your drills that we've been working on." I nod. "I want you to blast that ball over the fence. Sky high." He says.
"I'll try my best." I sigh.
"Alright, go on out there and show these folks how powerful you are." He pats my back. I walk over to the batters box. I get into my stance. The pitcher pitches the ball.
It goes slightly outside the box. "Ball!" The umpire calls. "0-1!"
I take a deep breath. The second pitch comes straight at me. I swing the bat. Crack! I run as fast as I can. I stop at first and don't see the ball anywhere.
"GO, GO, GO!" My team screams. I scramble off the base and go to second, I continue to run to third, landing at home plate. The whole crowd cheers.
"YEAH!" My coach yells. I grab my bat and run inside the dugout.
"Yeah, Y/N!" Tara screams. "You showed them who's boss!"
I laugh. I feel arms wrap around my waist. I turn around to see Benny. "Hey, Ben." I smile.
"Hey, princess." He leans down and kisses me passionately. I smile into the kiss. "Good hit out there." He says. "You're almost better than me." He cringes.
I gasp. "I am better than you!"
"Meh." He shakes his head. "I wouldn't say that."
I scoff. "Whatever." I push him out of the dugout.
"Love you!" He calls and runs back over to the sandlot boys.
"Love you, too!" I laugh and shake my head.
