That meant a kick off. We were all tense. If they scored that could be the game. Their team's kicker kicked the ball to the right of Damien who dived and caught it.

In the outfield, it wasn’t much better, the grass was long and patchy. These conditions made it hard to concentrate and play.…
The thrill of the ball rolling off my fingers, my cleats digging in the ground, and the next sound I heard was, “Strike 3, you’re out!” As I walked back to the dugout, and my teammates high-fiving each other, our coach, said we needed to score 2 more runs to win the game, 10 minutes later, we were celebrating, that we won the last game of the season.…
