She raised her eyebrows as she grinned triumphantly. 

She had caught a ball, hit by the Benny Rodriguez. 

She threw it back to Hops, who stood on the pitchers mound with her mouth at her feet, much like everyone else, both teams alike.

He smiled lightly at her, breaking her out of her trance. 

She returned the smile and went back to her position.

She gathered the ball in her glove and ripped it towards MC at first.

He stared at her in awe and made his way back to the dugout, stumbling a bit.

"That's three!" Hot Head called. 

The boys and girls switched sides, and the girls got ready to bat.
