The Red Sox won! It was a super close game. The final score was 2-1 in the Red Sox Favor over the Cubs. Carl Mays did so good. He pitched the whole game and only gave up the one run. The Red Sox scored two runs early in the third inning and did not score again the rest of the game. The Cubs put the pressure on scoring a run in the 4th, but they didn't manage to get another run across the rest of the game. Something awesome happened in the top of the eighth inning though. The Red Sox brought Babe Ruth in to play Left Field! I was so excited to see him walk on the field. He didn’t get to hit, but it was just great to see him walk out on to the field and get to be out there. After a long day, it feels really good to be going to bed a fan of the

Two outs, full count, Crushers still up 7-6, bottom of the 7th with the Stix as the home team and a runner on first. Hardester throws one more a little outside and McCoy fouls it off. Next pitch right down the pipe and she hits a hard ground ball up the middle… and… KAMRYN LOHDEN DIVES FOR IT.”

I could hear the players out in the field for red and the players on the bench yelling, encouraging the pitcher. The blue team dugout was very quiet. The pitcher started his delivery and the pitch came in. I took a hack, and just got a piece of it. I’m still alive, I thought. The next pitch came in, again I took a swing, and it was a good one. I watched the ball fly over the

Toward the beginning of the game, one of the other team’s best hitter was up. I was playing outfield and the first hit came. Pow! I went over all of our heads, but luckily it was a foul ball. On the second hit, it

Balls were hit, strikes were swung, and outs were cast. One and two and three, and as fast as the inning began, it ended. Those who spectated cheered, and others who watched booed. The home team who was defending now attacked, but just as swift as those before them, they were struck down, only ever hitting their mark once. When the Dodgers reached the plate again, fortune was struck, along with the ball, and away it was sent, beyond the green field of contest, and the enemy team cheered loud and full, for they were ahead in the struggle. The outs continued to add up, and innings continued to be completed. Through a sacrifice of a hit, a run was finally scored for the Giants. Furious exclamation came from the stadium, filling the air with the cheers of the onlookers, but short lived was this joy, for in just the next inning the Dodgers stole back their domination of the field. Before the game was almost finished, only two outs before the Giants were crushed, they swept back with a glorious score which made the onlookers even more feverous than before. With this score, the game was extended further, so a victor could be

Running back and forth on and off the field, trying to score as many runs as each side could when batting. Then when it came to defense, we tried our best to not let the Braves score any runs. Around the top of the fourth inning is when it all started. I was up to bat. The first pitch came in, I swung the bat and the ball escalated into the air, landing out by the fence in the right center gap. I was running as fast as I could to at least get to second base. I slid into the bag and the umpire yelled, “Safe!” I was super excited and my adrenaline was pumping like no other. I was so anxious to score it was unreal. Now there was one out, I’m still on second base. Cora Blume is up to bat, and kills a line drive into the left center gap. When a line drive is hit usually you get off halfway or at least enough where if they drop the ball you can make it to the next base, or you can get back if they catch it. Next thing I know the girl makes an

The Texas Rangers (2-3) 2015 campaign comes to a stunning close, as the Toronto Blue Jays (3-2) win one of the craziest baseball games you will ever see. This game had just about everything you could possibly imagine, with the game being played under protest by the Blue Jays, trash being thrown on the field, benches clearing, and that’s just the start. Aaron Sanchez (1-0 3.46 ERA) got the win for the Blue Jays, and Cole Hamels (0-1 2.70 ERA) was the hard luck and undeserving loser for the Rangers.

First, I walked through the gates and smelled the great food and could see the amazing field. Then, we had to find the suite where my friend’s dad’s business had bought for their employees for the game. We had to climb a ton of stairs to get to our seats because they were way high

We also thought the rally would end up being a lot better than the parade (which it was). We had to wait in the mud for about 5 hours but if you're a huge cubs fan like me and my family then it was worth the wait. While I waited for five hours I was able to look around and see everyone else just as excited as us to be there. Some had been waiting outside the gates since the day before and others got there the same time we did. I saw people who were excited, people who were anxious and a lot of people who were exhausted of standing for five hours. Suddenly a video on the big screen in front of us started to play which meant the rally was about to start. When it ended people starting walking out on stage like the man who built the team and the coach of the team. They gave some really good speeches about the team and how hard they have worked to get to where they are. Players started walking out on stage one by one as they waved or came up to give a speech. They ended the rally by having everyone sing Go Cubs Go.It was truly amazing to be able to say I saw the 2016 cub world series champions. This is a day I will never

Earlier this year when I got my contract I was not only excited to see my name on the clubhouse wall but just to meet the Chicago Cubs, my team. I got walked into Wrigley field and it felt just like home. I took a couple steps in and just was dumbfounded when I saw that

The worry I had earlier began to slowly dissipate as we headed onward to the next inning. It’s a shame that the worry was only gone for a total of 18 pitches before they had gotten three scores and were ahead of us. When we finally got inside the dugout for our turn to bat, we were pumped to get back ahead of them as fast as possible. We were able to get one run before we reached our three outs and were thrust back onto the field with a tying score. They took two runs from us again causing me to get worried again. They just went ahead of us by two points, and I felt that all was lost. We were finally able to get the last out and we headed inside to the dugout. We were only able to get one run back like last time and I felt that we would lose and then we would be unable to go to the World Series, which is something I had wanted to achieve for sometime. But we were struck out and we went back out onto the field.

George had pitched a no-hitter for a couple innings. He was getting very tired. The coach called out another pitcher who wasn’t as good as George, but was still super good. The first pitch, the other team got a hit. Luckily, they got the ball to first before they could get to first base. The Orioles won the game but not by much.

Then Casey went back and made one scornful look and the audience was quiet again. Then his face grew cold and his so called “muscles” were straining. The whole population of the stadium knew that Casey would not let that ball pass by again. Casey was no longer sneering, he had his teeth clenched in absolute hate. He wanted the pitcher dead, or for him to get a home run and save his team. He signaled one last time to the pitcher and the pitcher threw the ball. The air was still until he hit the air was shattered by his blow. Casey had missed the

I was so nervous for the game that my insides felt like I just did 50,000 circles on a roller coaster. My seats were so neat because I was at a high enough point to see the whole city.
