The Submarine Pitch (2009)
“Mick popped out to Bill and Luke grounded out, ending the Shark’s fat half-inning. Rangers 2, Sharks 4.
Maybe Jeff should’ve started instead of me, Bernie thought.
Rudy Sims led off in the top of the fourth with a series of foul balls, then struck out. Chuck doubled. Fred, belting three fouls in a row, finally popped out to Mick.
Bernie had visions of the game going down the drain and of Vince popping off to him, uttering sarcastic remarks. He had a good idea why Vince acted that wa...y toward him; it had started shortly after track season, when Bernie had outrun Vince in the 50-and 100-yard dashes. That had qualified Bernie to run against other schools in the league and had earned him over half a dozen first prizes. Vince hated to see that somebody was better than he was.
Jeff waited out Luke’s pitches to the limit, then cracked the three-two pitch to short. Tim MacDonald muffed it and Jeff was safe on first.MoreLess
