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 |
