a worth winnin' from the beginnin' of the first inning. an essential day off it's provincial playoffs, and i'm playin' shortstop, batting in the line-up, the opposing a right-hander with an unorthodox wind-up. and a good to first, throws a curve, and changes speeds. can be wild at and known to blow the strangest leads. like the last time we faced him, he turned one lead a loss for his team, and inflated his earned run average. but today he focused 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 choose takin' the route, the big hitters to the plate, and players that are purely speed, and try to manufacture and jump out to an early lead. and this it worked, so we were gonna need a hero, 'cause after one complete, the score's 3 to 0. leadin' off the second, i swung at the pitch. no the center fielder back-peddled to the track and settled under it. 0 for 1 and get goin'. the ball's thrown the horn and back to the pitcher now. and all is good for the bad guys, but not so hot for the visitors. the big right-hander is no prisoners. he seems to us figured out, the question is, can we compete? he's perfect after 3 complete and has a 3-1 lead.
top of the and our lead-off hitter makes it to first base. and we go, it's the worst-case scenario for any opposing pitcher because he got a that the chance he gets, he's gonna try to steal second, which he does. so for the time during the mission, we've got out and a man in scoring position. the next batter out to right, but yo word, still only one out and a runner on third. so then the number 3 hitter steps up to the talk, showin' where hit, but draws the intentional walk. it's an old maneuver made 'cause trouble may follow unless they get the double play from the clean-up hitter and me. the infielder's set up a double depth when they're ready, but i a line drive into left-center for a double, bringing two across, which just leaves it up to me to do the damage in the spot, now the score was 3 to 2. the score remained the same through five past to pretense. we kept it with a dazzling display of defense. we had to the starting pitcher, the one that was left handed. the of the sixth inning was base runners left stranded and bullpen activity. but the job is gettin' it done after a executed hit and run and what may prove to be the ultimate game-winning catch. we got a tie game going into the inning stretch.
