The pitcher, James, stepped up to the mound. James had a huge smile on his face, happy that his was finally sunny after days. Today wasn’t a very serious game, just some fun and messing around.

It was the top of the first inning, and James’ friends were cheering from the dugout. James took a deep breath and got ready to pitch, to which the catcher, Jayson, opened his mitt.

James threw a fastball, the batter hit it hard, and it came flying back at James, striking him straight in the face.
