#87 - Pitcher
There he was standing the giant mound of dirt. He took a quick spit and looked around at the crowed...everyone was counting on him to out this guy and this was his chance 2 outs and 1 strike. Number 15 dusted the dirt away with his foot, staring the umpire straight in the face paying attention to only the hand signs he was being given. The audience had broken into complete silence, the announcers were at the edge of their seats. To some people this was just one pitch in a game of major league baseball, to others it was their paycheck. Nicholas took the pitch the large white and red ball hurtled towards the bat and then CRACK!! the ball broke and started flying towards the lights, everyone ran in many different directions, piling on top of each other like dishes or dominoes...none reached the ball before Bailey could hit home plate. The crowed booed, hissed and yelled...Nicholas collapsed...
