Swing and Miss ※ benny rodriguez

❝You ain't ever getting a chance with my sister,❞ he told me.
❝Shut your mouth, Phillips. You have no right to interfere with what I feel!❞ I shout.
❝So you do like me?❞ I hear her ask.
I turn around to see her walking out of the house. I panic.
❝She's my twin sister, Rodriguez. And you hate me. Why would you like her?❞ Phillips asks.
I look over at him.
❝It doesn't matter. She's way different from you. I may have swung and missed the first time, but I promise I won't fail this time.❞

Ashley Phillips had a twin. Her twin was Jacob Phillips. But everyone calls him Phillips.

She plays baseball but her brother never lets her play with him and his team.

So one day, she wanders around until she finds a field. The field that was in her dreams.

The Sandlot.

But there was something wrong with the field.

There were boys playing on it.

The boys question her at first, because they know who her brother is.

She proves she can play ball better than any of them except there was one more problem.

And that problem, was Benny Rodriguez.
