Strike! I was down in the count 0-1.First game first at bat of the state tournament.The first time we had ever made it to the tournament.The next pitch I hit a hard ground ball between first and second. Later that inning I came around to score.
Next inning  I came up to bat the score was 3-2. we were winning but  they still had a little bit of momentum .The coach told me I’m on my own. First pitch was a strike.I could have bunted my way on but I wanted to hit away.Then strike two.I was down 0-2 .Then the pitcher threw me one high and down the middle.I swung, as I was rounding first coach told me it was over.I could not believe it!
Later that week my team won the state tournament.I was even more excited than I would have been if I would not have hit the homerun.
