The first pitch came in just at waist level, and Mike swung hard. A solid hit down the first base line! Dropping the bat, Mike took off. The Arrows’ first baseman, Jim Morrow, rushed forward and scooped up the ball. Mike put on a burst of speed, but Jim beat him to the bag. Mike was out.

A strikeout and a pop-up ended the inning.

The Arrows could do nothing in the third. But the Giants, at their turn at bat, made a turnaround and came up with two runs.

The fourth and fifth innings went scoreless for both teams.

The Arrows didn’t add to their 4–2 lead in the top of the sixth, either. The Giants, on the other hand, earned two runs to tie up the game before the inning ended.

That’s more like it! Mike thought excitedly. Too bad you’re missing this one, Harry. It’s a humdinger.

As Mike got his glove and ran onto the field, a familiar voice entered his mind.
