"Now, boys, we've started the ball rolling," cried out Bob. "Remember, only one more run ties the score." CHAPTER VIII HOW THE GAME ENDED The next batter up was plainly nervous. He had two strikes called on him, and then he knocked a small foul, which was quickly gathered in by the third baseman. Then Tom came to the bat, and was lucky enough to make a clean one-base hit. After that, came several base hits in rapid succession. These brought in not only Tom, but also the man behind him. Then came a bad fumble on the part of the Roxley shortstop, and, as a result, another run was put up to the credit of Brill. "Seven runs. That's going some!" "I guess this is Brill's game, after all." "Make it a round dozen while you're at it, boys." But this was not to be. The hits for Brill had evidently come to an end, and the side retired with seven runs to its credit. "Now, Tom, hold them down if you possibly can," said Bob, as his team took the field. "I'll do my level best, Bob," was the reply. |
