The coach calls a timeout; he needs to talk to his team because it was the 9th inning. He's really stressing, he doesn't know if he should put in Jimmy or Ron as pitcher. He sends out Jimmy hoping he'll keep their 10-9 lead with the last batter on deck.  Unfortunatly it's the best player on their team. The last play:

The batter steps to the plate, Jimmy takes a big breath and does his motion.
It was flawless, it was like a swan in a lake, it was breathtaking.  The ball seemed to be perfectly alligned with the catchers mit.  It hit the mit and you can hear the umpire say
"STRIKE ONE!".  Jimmy sighs with relief that he got the first strike.  He takes another big breath then throws it again.  Yet again it's perfectly alligned with the catcher's mit.  "STRIKE TWO" said the umpire.  Alex who was almost asleep in the outfield was bored, he hadn't got any action all day.  He'd been waiting in Right Field talking to the Center Fielder John.  Jimmy lifts he's foot, the pitch is right down the middle, the batter hits it to Right Field ...
