narrative

As the boy stepped up to the plate he knew it was up to him to save the game. With the score tied 5 to 5 with bases loaded it all rested on him to get this hit. With a runner on third and 2 outs he knew this was his moment. He positioned himself inside the box and raised the bat behind him. He stared at the pitcher. The pitcher went into his movements and brought a fastball towards the plate. The boy felt that the ball coming towards him was the ball he had to hit. As he swung the bat he said to it silently please hit it. The bat connected with the ball and sent it between third and second base. the runner at third darted home as the boy ran to first. The boy watched as the ball landed in the outfield a little before the wall and saw the outfielder grabbing for it. The boy couldn't help but watch as the ball was thrown towards home plate and the runner running home. It seemed as if both ball and runner were going to meet at the same time at home. The runner slid and the catcher jumped for the ball. The boy could not see through the dust but could only hear the umpire yelling safe!.
