The Fox Steals Home (2009)
“walked the next batter, and a hopeful hum started among the Cowbirds’ fans. They cheered as their next hitter stepped to the plate, a look of anxiety on his round face. He was chubby, and his helmet sat high on his head, leaving the ear-protective section almost too high to do any good. He held his bat about four inches from the end of the handle, and waved it like a club.
Boom! B.J.’s first pitch went skyrocketing to deep right center, scoring both runners. Chubby, not blessed with lightning speed, had to be satisfied with a double.
It was all tied up now, 2-2. The Cowbirds were making a gallant comeback with two outs.
“Let’s get back in the groove, B.J.!” yelled Bobby, spitting into his glove as he crouched in his spot at third.
“Take yer time, B.J.!” advised Snoop. “Take yer old time, boy!”
B.J. didn’t have to be told to take his time. He had been doing that.
