The Game

It was the 7th inning and the game was tied The home team fans were filled with pride The pitch comes in, the batter swings A miss, a strike, to their feet the fans now spring The second pitch comes in quite fast A swing, a miss, strike two is cast The fans are cheering on their team The third ball needs to be supreme The crowd grows silent as the pitch is thrown A swing, a hit, the fans now groan It looks like it will be a home run But the fielder jumps, and catches that one! They then went on to win the game The outfielder, a hero he became Joseph May 12/15/15
