“Count 2 and 2”

Yells the umpire.

The pitcher looks in

and gets the sign

He starts his motion

My heart beating slowly

The crowd goes silent

The pitcher releases the ball

Hurling toward the catcher

I could see the laces as clear as day

I put my foot in the dirt

I close my eyes and

turn to swing.

“Crack”

I open my eyes

to see the ball flying through the sky

As i round first base

I look up to see

the outfileder running out of room

Up against the fence

watching the ball

Fly over his head

the crowd roars and

the umpire yells

“Homerun”!
