It's the seventh inning and the Enigmas break out their closer, sending Arnold to the mound to pitch the last three innings.

...the new relief pitcher is a kid. Not much older than Sari, even. This is gonna be a piece of cake.

Re: #75 - Sari Sumdac heyfootballhead September 14 2009, 01:46:15 UTC

Hey, Arnold is highly trained in the art of baseball.

...Incidentally, Arnold's inner monologue is going a little something like this: The batter is a kid. This is gonna be a piece of cake.

Re: #75 - Sari Sumdac im_so_sari September 14 2009, 01:49:28 UTC

Guess whose inner monologue is closer to reality. Go on. Guess.

Sari taps the plate twice with her bat and readies for the pitch.

Re: #75 - Sari Sumdac heyfootballhead September 14 2009, 01:54:53 UTC

Arnold smirks, winds up...and delivers the pitch straight across the plate.

It feels good to be a playa pitcher.

Re: #75 - Sari Sumdac im_so_sari September 14 2009, 01:56:57 UTC

It crosses the plate unmolested by Sari's bat, despite the eight-year-old's best efforts.

Okay, this may be trickier than she thought.

Re: #75 - Sari Sumdac heyfootballhead September 14 2009, 01:59:51 UTC

"Good swing, kid," Arnold calls magnanimously. See, he's a good sport.

And now it's time for pitch number two--another well-aimed scorcher.

Re: #75 - Sari Sumdac im_so_sari September 14 2009, 02:04:27 UTC

"I'm not a kid!" protests Sari--then rushes to swing at the ball. Alas, it's too late. Strike two.

Re: #75 - Sari Sumdac heyfootballhead September 14 2009, 02:12:13 UTC

"Sure," Arnold replies. And winds up for his third pitch.

This is Sari's last shot at glory and getting one up over Arnold, at least in this at-bat.

Re: #75 - Sari Sumdac im_so_sari September 14 2009, 02:17:15 UTC

Wait for it... wait for it...

Crack. The ball sails in a high arc above the infield, and Sari takes off for first base.

Stitch rushes backwards, neck craned back, ears flattened against his skull. The ball disappears into his maw with a wet GRAUMPH as his jaws snap closed.

Re: #75 - Sari Sumdac thursdays_angel September 14 2009, 02:36:18 UTC

Castiel straightens up from his pitcher's crouch, pushing up his face mask.

Oh. Dear.

"May we have a time out?" he asks Meg.

Re: #75 - Sari Sumdac ever_noteful September 14 2009, 02:37:30 UTC

Oh dear, indeed.

"Time," Meg agrees.

Re: #75 - Sari Sumdac im_so_sari September 14 2009, 02:38:34 UTC

"That so doesn't count as an out!" protests Sari from her perch on first base. "He didn't use his hands!"

Re: #75 - Sari Sumdac heyfootballhead September 14 2009, 02:47:39 UTC

"He caught it, didn't he? Don't be a sore loser!"

So says Arnold in protest of Sari's protest.

Re: #75 - Sari Sumdac ever_noteful September 14 2009, 02:51:02 UTC

"Um, actually . . ." Meg trails off, stopping to think.

The rules are quite clear. A player makes a legal catch when he, or she, has secure possession of a ball in hand or glove. No caps, no props.

Granted, the rules are written for people for whom catching the ball with their teeth is not really an option, but . . .

"She's right. It's not a legal catch."

Meg's not sure what it is but it's not a legal catch.

"I'm calling that a ground rule double. Sari can go to second base."
