| She kicks her cleats into the dirt and wipes the sweat onto her shirt. She checks the runners on all the basees And looks at the crowd with awaiting faces. SHe checks the scoreboard for the count just to make sure it's the right amount. Three balls, two strikes, one out to go. She's taking this pitch nice and slow. If the batter hits this pitch they're sure to lose. Then she'll be embarasses all over the news. Only winning by one,the pressure is on SHe takes a close look at the batter's strike zone. SHe starts her pitch and releases the ball. She watches it as it flys off the bat and to the wall She depends on her outfield to make a great play As she watches them run hard all the way She watches the outfielder make perfect aim As she catches the ball and they win the game By Candace Walker |
