It was a hot summer day, and Jackson was at his house getting ready for his baseball game. He was very anxious because if his team won the game they would be able to qualify for a tournament, that a lot of teams from other states would be participating in. But, before all of that came they needed to win this game. Jackson got his hat and went to the car, where his dad was waiting for him. On the way to the field his dad encouraged him to try his best and help his team. An hour later after they warmed up, the game started. Then, two hours later, the game ended and Jackson's team won four to two.

The time had finally come for the boy and his father to head downtown to the stadium. As they got closer to downtown, traffic began to back them up for miles. The boy began to worry that they would ever make it to the game on time, creating an illusion of an endless line of cars blocking them from the stadium. Alas, they made it through the disruptions and had arrived at the ball park, the boy looked on in awe, as it was bigger than he ever imagined. Their tickets were scanned, and walked to their seats, first row behind the dugout; the most plum seats in the whole place. The game began with the toss of the first pitch, as the opposing batter stood at the plate; the crowd let out roaring boos. The boy asked his father why they were yelling at the player, his father began to explain he had been caught cheating with steroids and will forever have an asterisk next to his name because of it, all the fans despised him. As the game carried on, each team went back and forth scoring runs until it was tied in the bottom of the 9th inning. The boy’s favorite player was up to bat, and with one swing of the bat, sent the ball over the fence for the game winning homerun. A nuclear cheer erupted throughout the entire stadium as everyone celebrated winning

Emerson was really nervous now. She glanced over at the dugout and saw her teammates up against the chain-link fence. She kept telling herself “I can do this...I can do this…” as she watched the pitcher step up to the mound. She loaded up her swing and went for it. She felt something, she had made contact! She thought to herself as she rounded first base, “it’s gone” and it was! The whole field broke into a thunder of cheers. As she rounded third base and saw her teammates and coaches waiting for her, she screamed “for Jess!” and the whole team screamed “for Jess!” as Emerson pounced on home plate. After all the cheering was over and the girls shook each other’s hands, someone came over the intercom and said “Wildcats for the champion!

The game started and the other team, Hillman College, had huge guys that towered over Jonathan and his team. He was nervous. “HIKE!” It had started. Jonathan had the ball he tossed it to Richard, who ran several yards before getting tackled. It was 2nd down. Jonathan saw Jack was open so he threw the ball. Jack seemed as he was going to catch it until a small, fast kid came running in for an interception. The kid ran the whole field for a touchdown.

David and Brad were teenage rivals. They went to different high schools and competed against each other in almost every sport growing up. David, tall and handsome was talking to Brad who was excited to share the news of his victory the night before. “I got to second base last night! I was in a slump and striking out but I finally made some good plays!” Brad, a little awkward was much shorter than David and not quite as popular. David didn’t believe Brad at all and said, “Sure you did, since when did you get so lucky?” Brad was a bit hurt and wanting to flaunt his prowess to David he blurted, “Oh course I did. I am on a winning streak. Tonight I am going for a Home run!” David, a little jealous and feeling a bit insecure was not sure what

They ran to the baseball fields, darted into the concession stand and locked the door. It looked like someone had left in a hurry because the door had been left partially open. Chris spotted a laptop that was sitting on the counter. There was a blog post on the computer that dated back to the year 2000. It was obvious that someone had been reading the post. The post was about the Little League World Series championship. There was a picture of the pitcher from the defeated team in the blog. It looked like a younger version of the concession stand manager. Chris asked what the name of the concession stand manager was. Then he saw a nameplate that read Brad Low. The name Brad Low was on the screen.

What a beautiful day. Sun’s out, flowers are all bloomed, boys playin’ baseball at the ballpark across the street. Today just couldn’t be better. I see those boys and I can’t help remembering what could have been. I am now 73 but when I was younger, I was a natural ballplayer. Baseball was my life. I would get compliments almost daily of how well I’d played the night before. It was my life. Suddenly in the middle of nowhere I seemed to be growing younger! The world around my was changing! As all this was happening I walked down to the ballpark. I was my 12 year old self! My old buddies, most of whom had now passed away, were playing. “Ryder! What’s up man?” Julian said. I was so startled that it was actually him I was nearly brought to tears. After a warm welcome from my buddies, Jackson tossed me a bat and told me I was up at the plate. I stepped into the box, I could smell the dirt, the grass, everything. It was so wonderful. I picked up some dirt, rubbed it on my hands and was ready to go. Jackson came set, ready to deliver the first pitch I’d seen in the last 50 some odd years. He lifted his leg, pulled his arm back, and strode towards home plate. The ball left his hand, I could see every seam, every dirt mark on that ball. I started my motion, the ball was right there. All I could focus on was hitting that dang ball.

After we all introduced ourselves to each other we walked over to a big area with bases. “Who should be on each team,” Nick asked. “I don't care let's just make them even,” Gracie said. We all divided ourselves up into teams and started playing. My Team was in the field while Nick's team was up to kick. Nick was the first kicker up, and I was pitching. Gracie, Kenzie, Cody, and Ethan were behind me getting ready for Nick to kick. I pitch nick the ball then “wham!” The kickball went right into Gracie’s face. It hit her pretty good. We took a timeout until we decided to go back to the camper and do something else.
