Everyone could feel the tension as we were pulling up to their baseball field. We got out of our team bus and strolled straight into the visitors dugout. As our metal cleats scraped against the concrete, the other team knew we had arrived. I remember looking over at their team and thinking “How have we lost to these guys three times in a row?”
As we jogged out to go warm-up, we could hear the faint sound of thunder in the distance. It had rained the day before, and it was …show more content…
In the bottom of the third inning, they started to hit the ball really well. They had one out with the bases loaded and were about to score. Our head coach, Coach Paul, called time and called the infield to the pitcher’s mound. He told us to stay calm and make the great double play he knows we can make. The next batter stepped to the plate. He hit it straight to our third baseman, who fielded the ground ball perfectly, quickly touching third base, and then launched the ball towards home. Seth, the catcher, caught the ball and as quickly as he could reached down to tag the runner sliding into home. The umpire signalled the runner was out and we all ran towards the dugout cheering with excitement.
In the top of the fourth inning, we started to gain momentum and were able to get people on base. During this inning, we scored three more runs resulting in a score of 4-1. As we were taking the field, lightning came crackling across the sky. The umpires instantly told us to go back to our dugout. The Ascension Catholic team then brought out a tarp to cover the whole infield. After 40 minutes of the rain pouring down, the umpires announced the game would be rained out and we would win! All of our fans screamed with excitement and our team started to celebrate.

College Level Writing Process Analysis

I believe that the main difference between high school level writing/English and college level writing/English is the primary focus behind the papers assigned to students. In high school, English papers generally formulated a question that required at least three main points to answer. In college level writing, papers generally focus on an argument that the student addresses. This argument requires sources to back up the claim. My writing process does not involve procrastination. I am a visual learner…

Summary Of The Brief Wondrous Life Of Oscar Wao

One would hope to see Oscar rally from the doldrums of high school and grow and mature as both a person and a character as he steps into college. That unflattering description is on Page 20. Oscar barely even gets another 30 pages of failure before he “had buried himself in the college version of what he’d majored in all throughout high school: getting no ass.”, and the narrative instead shifts to his sister Lola’s present, which is inexorably tied to their mother Beli’s…

This fact alone meant that his final years in high school, Oher was the focus of attention of college coaches across America – grown men taking detours of hundreds of miles to watch him practice, in the hope of persuading him to play for their team. Had these coaches the power to design a prototypical left tackle, Oher’s six-foot-five, 330-pound frame would have been pretty close to their model. And yet the fact that he was even still at high school was, in itself, nothing short of a miracle. The…
