"Okay, so what do I do?" Scotty asked as he stood in the middle of the field.

"Just stay there and try and catch the ball." He instructed before running off to batting position.

"I got it!" Scotty says raising his glove in the air.

The ball falls on the ground and Scott picks it up and runs to DeNunez and hands him the ball who looks at it in disbelief.

"Here, sorry." He says before running back to his place on the field.

Benny and Kalya look at each other in confusion before they run over to Scotty.

"Hey, you know you have to throw it right?" Benny asked confused.

"Yeah, but I can't throw." Scotty admitted with his head down. 

"Why did you bring him Benny?" Yeah-Yeah asks annoyed.

"Because there's 10 of us and he makes 11!" Benny yelled back.

"But we already have 10! We have Kayla!" Yeah-Yeah says matter of factly.

"With 11 guys we have a whole team Yeah-yeah." Kayla says.

"No, with Elswenger we had a whole team! Elswenger could catch!" Ham scolded the two oldest.

"And throw." Bertram added.

"Come on Benny man, he ain't game. you saw the way he through." Kenny interjected.

"Yeah, you already filled up the spot since Elswenger moved to Arizona." Timmy added.

"Right and now I get to rotate eleven positions instead of ten!" Benny yelled. "I need the practice guys."

"You're the best on the team!"

"You don't need practice!"

"No, you don't!"

"You're the best man."

"Why is that kid on our team anyway?" he can't even throw a ball! Ham yells.

"Shut up, Ham!" Kayla yells already fed up with the teams rude comments about the kid.

"Come on Benny, the kids an L-7 weenie." Squints said and made an L with his finger and placed it on his forehead.

"Yeah-yeah. Oscar Mayor even! Foot long! Dodger long! A weenie!" Yeah-yeah yelled.

All the boys started laughing at Yeah-yeah's comment. Kayla turned to look at Scotty and noticed that he was embarrassed and upset.

Kayla turned towards Yeah-yeah, her face red with anger. "What are you laughing at Yeah yeah? You run like a duck! She said as she placed her hands on her hips and looked at him with a glare.

"Kk, but I'm--I'm. . ." He stuttered as he looked at the two oldest.

"Part of the team right?" Benny asked with a hands on his hip mimicking Kayla who just rolls her eyes playfully.

"Yeah." Yeah-yeah says looking down.

"Then how come he don't get to be?" She asks as she points at Scotty.

"Because he's a geek! He can't catch!" They all say in unison.

"MAN! BASE UP YOU BLOCKHEADS!!" Kayla yells in anger.

That immediately got them all to shut up, cause no one likes it when she gets angry. But Benny thought she looked HOT when she got mad, especially when she yells at the guys.
