Fly higher than the stars

Chapter 29-Baseball Hurts

Patricia is playing baseball with her friends at the park this afternoon. Her bat holding is looking great but, when the pitcher throws his ball to the glover holder with a helmet on top of him. She swings her bat very fast and this hits the guy very badly.

"Hey," Patricia running to the pitcher, "Are you alright?"

"Hey," The pitcher replied angrily, "What was that all about?"

"Um... I don't mean to do that."

"Look, little rabbit, you hit me in the body. If you do that one more time. I'm going to tell my mom about it." He leaves the park unhappily.

"Look," Carrie talks to her, "It's not your fault about what you did here."

"I know but, there is something wrong with the baseball bat." Patricia replied.

"How did you know that?"

"Look. Every time I swing my bat. It hurts people."

"What? I mean why?"

"Look. I'll explain everything to you when we seat at the bench together."

Patricia and Carrie seat the bench's park together to discuss about the baseball's bat pressure.

"Okay, so what's your baseball's pressure every time you swing your bat?" Carrie said questioning after they sit together at the bench.

"My bat's pressure is quiet powerful." Patricia replied.

"What? Your bat is powerful to hit the ball. Then, that's why you hit the pitcher very hardly."

"And then, he got mad at me."

"I know. So why don't we look for a baseball bat that is the right accurate?"

"Okay."

Carrie and Patricia stand up and head to the shop to look for the baseball bat that is just a right thing and the right pressure. When she sees the bat that is just the right thing. She gets the bat on the holder before she puts it on top of the counter.

"That will $30 dollars for the brand new bat." The cashier said.

"Okay." She gets her wallet on her pocket before paying it to the cashier at the exact amount.

They leave the shop and head to the park immediately for the continuation of their baseball practice.

"So," Carrie said questioning, "What do you think about your new baseball bat? Is it going to make the pitcher mad at you again?"

"Well... If I hit the ball." Patricia replied, "Then, we'll see."

When it is her turn. She stands up from her chair and stand on the left side of the batting area.

The pitcher throws the ball to the glove and the helmet guy to catch the ball which will cause her to get a strike. She swings her bat immediately and as a result she accidentally hit the pitcher.

"That's it little rabbit!" The pitcher shouted at her causing to make her cry, "I'm going to tell my mother about what you did for the second time." He heads home immediately to tell his parents about it.

"The bat that we just bought at the store still hit the guy." She talks to Carrie about it.

"Oh no," She exclaimed, "Then, which means that your pressure is quiet strong. Not the bat itself."

"How did you know?"

"Look," Ice knowing about it, "According to the calculations here. The pressure amount that you just made. Is much completely worst."

"Then, how do we prevent it?" She questions to him about it.

"The only way to prevent it is to put less pressure on the swing." He tells the solution to her.

"Okay, I'll try my best."

Back at the park. Patricia is ready to swing her bat after the ball has been pitched by the pitcher. When the pitcher throws the ball immediately. She swings her bat with less pressure but, the ball hit the pitcher very hardly causing him to get upset and leave.

"You know what guys," She said to her friends, "I'm going to call it quits."

"What?" Sugi exclaimed.

"You mean right now?" Carrie exclaimed too.

"Yeah, every time I've hit the ball," She explains it to them everything, "I accidentally hit someone."

"Okay, so when are you going back to the game?" Jacquai replied back to her questioning.

"As long as I've improve my pressure skills." Patricia replied.

She leaves the baseball and heads to the park's bench to watch the team playing baseball. His father saw him watching the game.

"Patricia," His father said sitting beside her daughter, "Are you finish with the baseball game now?"

"Yes." His daughter replied.

"You mean right now?"

"Yes, look every time I swinged my bat. I accidentally hit someone."

"Oh, I see... Then, you just have to watch them play baseball. Then, as soon as your pressure is in control. You'll be in the game."

"Thanks, but, how?"

"I'll show you." He leads his daughter somewhere where she will become a better baseball player.

At the training center. She tries her best to get the right pressure but, the machine destroys after the ball goes directly to the machine.

"See..." She opens the back gate before telling it to her father, "I can't do this."

"But, why?" Her father questions about it.

"Every time I hit the ball with my bat. I accidentally hit someone. So it's better to let it go." She walks out of here.

"But, wait?" His father stops her but, she is pure gone unhappily.

Patricia goes to the arcade game all by herself to test her skills at the tabletop baseball game. When she presses the button which activates the baseball bat. This will cause some of the people to took massive damage from the ball leaving a game over.

Her father sees her face when she turns around. He explains everything to him about the pressure thing and as it turns out. She has filled herself with courage and now she is ready to go back to the park to get herself ready for the baseball practice.

While practice is in play. She managed to get things right and as it turns out. She gets herself a Home Run. This will all be applied during the game's competition.
