Satch & Me
“It was insane! Without any fielders to hold them on, the runners at first, second, and third took good long leads. The field looked so empty out there.
“Now it’s just you and me, son,” Satch said to the batter. “Ain’t this cozy?”
“Let’s see what you got,” the batter shouted back, licking his lips. All he had to do was put the ball in play and the Clowns would score four runs.
Satch windmilled the ball over his head a few times and burned the first pitch in. The batter looked at it.
“Steeeeerike... one!” called the ump, and the crowd’s noise went up a notch.
The batter got set again and Satch gave him another fastball. Swing and a miss.
“Steeeeerike two!” called the ump.
The fans were screaming now. Satch stepped off the mound and wiped his forehead with his sleeve. The batter dug his cleats into the batter’s box. Satch went into his windup and the guy took a furious swing. The only thing he hit was air.
“Steeeeerike three!”
The crowd roared as the next Clown—their catcher—stepped in to face Satch.MoreLess
