One of My Most Exciting Softball Games

By Anna

If I could remember any two games I had ever played, one of them would be the one I hit two homeruns in. This game was last May.

The score was five-one. My team, the "Green Wave," was winning. I was up to bat at the dusty, white plate. It was so hot that the pitcher could hardly pitch, and the umpire was sweating.

The pitcher weakly pitched the first pitch. It was hard to keep from hitting the pitch. I saw the ball slide way outside and the catcher had to stretch to catch it.

"Ball!" enthusiastically yelled the ump, which was getting really stinky now.

"Good call," mumbled my coach like a smart aleck, as the pitcher pitched the second pitch.

Pong! Was the sound of my aluminum bat when it made contact with the pitch. You could faintly see the red stitching on the ball as it flew past the spacey left fielder's head. I ran as fast as I could to third base. The outfielder casually threw the ball to second base. The second baseman missed the ball.

"Run! Go home!" screamed the third base coach. I got home safely while the other team was busy yelling at the left fielder. I was so happy that I had got home. People were clapping and yelling.

The next inning I was up to bat again. I swung at the first pitch even though it was high. It went soaring past the right fielder. I was in between second and third base as the second baseman missed the cut-off. The ball was slowly rolling to the catcher. I ran so hard to home and I was miraculously safe! I was so excited!

The final score was 10-4. The "Green Wave" won. I was so happy not only that we won, but that I hit two in the park homeruns in one game with a double and a triple too. I will always remember that game.
