My Lucky Catch (University Park #6) - Plot & Excerpts
Keep that head up,” Coach Ruiz encouraged me again as I practiced hitting the ball. We had just closed out our regular season with nineteen wins. Collin had done damn good, finishing fourth in the conference with over 124 strikeouts. I, on the other hand, had done terrible. Slipping from a first starter to the bench for the last two games.“I’m trying, Coach.” I swung hard, using my lower body strength to send the ball in the center of the netting.Forbes was to the left of me, and Collin to the right, practicing their swings. I tried not to notice how well they were doing and keep my head focused on what I needed to do. I had been out of my element for too long. The problem was I didn’t know if I could get back on track or if I really wanted to. My desire to play was quickly slipping away.“You don’t want your head to dive into the ball. Keep it steady. The less movement, the better.” I nodded, working hard to concentrate on his recommendations. The regular season might have been over, but we were already preparing for the final conference series game, which started on Tuesday.
