Bottom of the Ninth

STRIKE ONE!

I can’t believe,
It’s left up to me.
This is no fun,
This game in the sun.

STRIKE TWO!
They will shun me,
If we lose, see?
I must get a hit,
Or we’ll only get a bit.

BALL ONE!
I’ll use this bit of tree,
To get a hit off thee.
This Seventh Game,
Can bring me fame.

BALL TWO!
This IS fun. Maybe,
My name will be across the sea.
This could be great,
This twist of fate.

STRIKE THREE!
