SQUINTS STEPPED INTO the batters box, I forgot which inning we were in, All I know is that we're dominating Phillip's team. Think of it as like, A lot to a little. That's the score. Last time they went against each other, Ham told me that they didn't even score.

Unfortunately the streak broke with a home run that someone hit not too long ago. Squints sadly grounded out, We all watched him intensely as he ran down to first, Initially we thought the call was safe but it was out. So another inning was finished.

I'm pretty sure we're halfway done with the game, If not probably barely the second inning in. Benny got up to head back out again and he gazed at me as he left the dugout. I grinned and watched him run out to center, Kenny was warming up again and Phillips was stepping into the box.

"Hey, What's her name?" I heard Phillips ask Ham. Ham completely ignored him, Making Phillips more annoyed. He stepped out of the batters box and looked at me.

"I never got your name!" He called out to me. I got up from the bench but all the guys started yelling.

"Oh fuck off Phillips!" Bertram exclaimed.

"Yeah, Yeah! You don't need to know!"

Timmy lightly hit his head and scowled, "It's not like you're gonna get with her!" and as usual, Tommy repeated after him.

"Shut up Phillips!" Smalls chanted.

The whole gang was attacking Phillips and I couldn't help but laugh. I sat back down and watched Phillips loudly groan. He banged his bat on the plate in frustration and Kenny started his wind up.

Phillips sure whacked all of his anger out on that ball because it went deep, Benny and Squints were both running towards it, I anxiously leaned forward, Hoping they wouldn't crash into each other.

Benny jumped and extended his glove as Squints immediately moved out of the way, Benny rolled onto the ground and I stood up, leaning against the fence.

We all waited to see if he actually caught it or not. Phillips was already rounding second but Benny slowly stood up and pulled the ball out of his glove, I deeply sigh in relief, Thankful that nothing bad happened.

Phillips jumped like a crying toddler in a candy shop, He was more than just frustrated right now. Benny threw the ball back in and shrugged his shoulders as if this wasn't the first time he's done it. "Screw you Rodriguez!" Phillips yelled as he jogged back into the dugout.

The next two batters grounded out, As the group jumbled into the dugout, They were all talking about Benny's amazing catch. "Oh stop it guys it's nothing." Benny said as he picked up his bat. He walked towards me and I grinned as he took some practice swings.

"That was a risky catch." I say. He shook his head, "It's easier than it looks. Maybe I can teach you." I gasped and started laughing, Funny of him to think he can teach me how to dive for a ball like that. Knowing me, I'd probably slip before the actual dive.

Finally when it was time for the inning to start, Benny walked out, Phillips was at third and he was glaring at him the entire time. Benny dug his foot into the batters box and settled himself before getting ready.
