 __**Winning Hit**__  __**By: Casey**__

 It felt like a lighting bolt jolting off the barrel of my aluminum bat as I crushed the ball over the right fielders head and with the suns ray bouncing of my neck to give me a sudden rush to win possibly the biggest game of the season and against are arch rivals the Parker Bears nothing could compare the feeling I had in my heart which I will always remember. Today I had a baseball game but not any old ordinary baseball game, no this game was against are arch rivals. The rivalry between are two teams was a astounding and the tension between us could be cut with a knife. The game was about to start and I was more joyful then when you find a cute stray puppy and your mom says you can keep it, one of the best feelings I had had the whole summer. The game began, we were on defense first I got to play second base which is one of my favorite positions. The first batter came to the plate and he was gigantic he looked like he could be in his 3rd year of high school I even believe he had shaved that morning. Of course his hit came my way but I wasn't going to give up I dove for the ball and made a play of a life time which made me fell as thou I was Derek Jeter. That game I had made 4 more magnificent plays and I won’t forget how I felt like the king of the world. But we were still behind 6 to 5 in the bottom of the 9th inning, 2 outs and a man on first. I came up to the plate I can't explain why but I felt powerful and invincible as thou nobody could hurt me. So when the pitcher fired the ball in my direction I swung with all my might and smashed the ball, I felt like a pro. I sprinted around the bases like Usain Bolt breaking the united states running record and as I was dashing around the bases it seemed like my feeling of joy grew to sizes to large. “ Yes I got a home run” as soon as I slightly touched home plate every single player piled on top of me. And there was a tear winding up in my eye nothing could compare to that feeling in my heart that managed to show itself in a form of perspiration dropping from my face. There was another reason why that was the best feeling in the world and it was that my dad is the head coach and in a family of great baseball players it means a lot to him which made him crack a smile in my direction. After all the players and even some of the parents got off of me I felt like my hearts was huge and my feeling of anger was puny. Then out of the blue there was a glass breaking sound when someone shouted "let’s go to the shack to celebrate" that person was my uncle who's also the assistant coach. Of course we did end up going up to the Shack like always. But this time we had something to actually celebrate. The Shack is a sports pub, bar and grill where mom works there. My family visits there probably at least 2 times a week and every always has a great time. When we arrived at the Shack half my team was already playing wall ball and having a great time “this is going to be a be a unbelievable night.” I muttered to myself. As always I was right well it started great at least we played wall ball for maybe 2 hours until waiting for the whole team to arrive then we all got the munchies that’s when the fun happened as we were enjoying our food a clown came in full costume I mean red nose make up the whole nine yards then had a few drinks we all got really freaked out. But it took a change for a more funny turn because this dorky kid on my team went up to him and asked “Can I have a balloon” “Can I have a balloon” it started to get annoying and apparently the clown thought so too. He got up glared right into the kid’s eye which had widened 3 inches and screeched and screeched at the top of this lungs “SHUT UP can I not just be in peace for two seconds without being asked for a stupid balloon” then stomped out of the Shack. A few minutes past and the manager of the establishment clutched the phone and dialed 3 little numbers “911” that’s when I saw a flash of red and blue light “the cops” the whole party whispered almost simultaneously. At that very moment we peeped out the curtains and noticed the clown pointing directly into the Shack right at the dorky child. We began to inch are way to the back entrance not trying to be noticed luckily we made it and drove home it felt like we were hiding from the cops oh yea we were. As I arrived home I realized that the day was an unforgettable one no body got hurt or arrested that day. When I arrived home I glanced at our baseball schedule and noticed that next week we play are other arch rival the Thorton Hornets and I was are first hitter on the line up. So I went to go chatto my dad about the line this is how the conversation went “Dad why am I at the top of are line up?” I declared. He got up look me straight in the eye and announced “I'm proud of you son.”
