"Hamilton 'The Babe' Porter, Long-ball Porter. Come on DeNunez." Ham said. Everyone was laughing except for Benny. I was dying laughing.

"Yeah, okay. Yes I see it. Yes." Benny says, getting in position as catcher.

DeNunez pitches the ball and Ham misses by a long shot. Everyone was laughing at him again.

"Woah!" I yell, laughing.

"You call that pitching?!" Ham complains. "This is baseball not tennis!"

"Give him a tennis racket!" I yell.

"Give me something to hit!" He yells, looking a DeNunez.

"Alright Ham, this is my heater. I dare you to hit it!" DeNunez challenges.

"You'll be sorry..." Ham mumbles.

"Give that boy a bigger bat!" Someone shouted.

"You want a heater? I'll give it to you." DeNunez mumbled.

"Give him a basketball maybe then he'll hit it." Someone else shouted.

DeNunez pitched the ball and Ham hit it, he had hit a home run.

"Yeah! That's how you do it Smalls!" Ham yelled, throwing his bat down and jogging around the bases.

"Ham, you idiot now we can't play no more!" Benny yelled, throwing his glove down on the ground and taking off his gear.

"Great you idiot!"

"Hit me with the heater!"

"Stupid idiot!"

"Low and outside, just how I like it!"

"I'm gonna hit you!"

"Wait a sec! I'll get it guys!" Smalls yelled.

"No!" Squints yelled as Smalls was running towards the fence to get the ball. I looked at all of them in confusion.

I walked over to the fence. "Hey Scott give me a lift." I said, he nodded and he got on one knee and I put my foot on it, pushing myself up. I grabbed onto the fence and sat up on top.

"No!!!" Everyone yelled, they were all heading towards us.

"I got it guys!" I yelled at them. I was about to go over the fence when I felt arms wrap around my waist, pulling me off of it.

"Hey! What the hell guys?!" I yelled, Benny had ahold of my waist and set me back on the ground, letting go. "What was that about? I was just getting the ball!"

"Your gonna get yourself killed!"

"Killed dude! Geez..."

"Yeah yeah truly, what we're you thinking?" Yeah yeah asked me.

"Well, you guys were leaving so I just thought I'd hop the fence and get the ball back." I explained, rubbing the back of my neck.

"If you were thinking you wouldn't have thought that!" Squints says.

"Then how do we get the ball back?" I ask, honestly  confused of why I can't just hop the fence.

"We don't." Squints says.

"It's history" Timmy says.

"It's history" Tommy repeats.

"Kiss it goodbye." Timmy says.

"Kiss it-." Tommy tries to repeat but gets cut off by Timmy.

"Shut up Tommy!" Timmy yells at his younger brother.

"It's gone man, gone." Bertram says.

"Yeah yeah, gone." Yeah yeah says.

"But why can't I just go get it?" I ask.

"The beast." Everyone says.

"What's that?" I ask.

"Listen to me El, you too Scott." Benny says, coming up to me and putting a hand on my shoulder. "Go over to that fence real slow, and be quiet."

I nod and hesitantly walk over to it. I look back at the guys. "Shh" they all hush me.

I get over to the fence close enough, Scotty following behind. I look into a small hole in the fence and see the ball. A giant paw comes out and snatches the ball back into its pit.

I yelp and back away from the fence.

"W-what is that thing?!" I ask, terrified.

They all look at each other and then yell.

"Camp out!"
