Home Run Billy

Good afternoon it is a mild day at the old ball park.  Talking to you is Frankie Walker.  If you are just joining us this is the final game of the season and the Lumberjacks and Giants are tied in the standings.  The last game of the season is a wild one.

Lumberjacks are down five to four going in to the ninth inning.  During the break the Lumberjacks put in their closer in.  His name is Jack Robinson.   Now when the giants saw that figure on the mound they thought it was sasquatch.  The huge  skyscraper almost touches the sky.  The monster was intimidating to everyone that looks at him.  The hairy beast is only 6 feet 11 inches.  The batter is Quarto Lopez he stands in as 5 feet 11 inches.  Quarto is one foot shorter than Jack.

Now when it come to Quarto he his fast as car but he can’t hit the ball if it was a volleyball.  But now this time there was magic in his eyes.  Jack wound up and though the ball at a blistering speed.  All Quarto could do was jump back.  Ball one!  Jack brushed that off.  This time he put it in the middle.  Quarto hit the ball it when high and deep.  The ball took a path of its own.  It start fair and then went foul and then far and foul.  Now at this time Quarto was almost at Third.  The ball ended up landing foul by a half foot.   Now after that Jack struck out the side.

The Giants have hit the ball great today.  The Giants have had 10 hits.  The  Lumberjacks have their best players coming up to bat.  Now the player are David Bentley, Jonny Ball, Michael Jordon.  After that is the top of the lineup.  If the Lumberjacks can do it Billy Johnson.  He know as Home Run Billy.  David hit a bullet though the gap.  Now David was sitting on first.  Jonny hit the ball right to center fielder.  Now Michael hit one high and deep but ended up to be foul.  The count is three two.  Now the ball comes in there and strike 3.  What screams Michael.  That was a strike son.  No it wasn’t.  You are ejected.  What?  You heard me.  Michael walked off the field in rage. 

               

The crowd starts chanting Billy Billy Billy Billy.  Billy walks up to the plate.  David is on first two outs.  The first pitch almost though Billy out if his shoes.  Ball one.  The next was in there for strike one.   Billy though the pitch was a ball.  The crowd screamed boo.  It was a wall of sound coming from the crowd.   Now the pitcher wound up and Billy swung right through it. Strike two yelled the ump.  Now it came down to this two strikes one ball.

Somewhere far far way people are having fun and laughing but not for the Lumberjack the great Home Run Billy stuck out.
