“Oh no! Colin’s team lost!” Kate said. “They’re out of the tournament! It’s all because someone stole their bags!”

Mike shook his head. “No, it’s okay,” he said. “The series is double elimination. That means teams keep playing until they lose twice.” He pointed to the schedule. “Look at the chart. Even though they lost, they’ll play again tomorrow!”

Out on the field, Coach Caleb gathered the Cooperstown players in right field. They knelt in a circle around him while he spoke.

Kate leaned forward. She nudged Mike. “Okay, great,” she said. “Then we need to watch the grounds crew. We still have a job to do!”

Mike stood and followed the groundskeepers as they jogged out to the infield with rakes. “It looks like the same three that we saw before the game,” he said. “I don’t see a teenager anywhere.”

Kate nodded. The groundskeepers cleaned up home plate and the pitcher’s mound and smoothed the base paths. A few minutes later they left the field.

Coach Caleb finished his talk. The Cooperstown team headed for the dugout to pick up their stuff.

“Time to go,” Mike said. He and Kate walked up the aisle and out of the stadium. It was still a sunny day, and Lamade Stadium felt light with excitement. Mike and Kate headed over to the big staircase that rose up to the sidewalk in front of the Grove. When they reached the top, they stepped off to the side. A group of kids was already waiting there with autograph books and baseball gloves.

“Good game!” said one fan after another as West Newton lined up in front of the Grove security gate.
