My Journey For a Home Run


Author’s Note: This is my personal narrative on my first home run.  

“ Adam you are on deck”, Says Coach. Just got on deck When Conner is up to bat. We are losing. There is still a lot left to the game it is only the third inning so we still have a chance to win. I start to swing my bat.  well I swing Conner takes the first pitch for a ball. Still swinging my bat nervous to get back up to bat. Conner takes another pitch for a strike though. I’m standing there think when am I going to be up I want to hit. Finally I’m up after Conner grounding out to the 3rd baseman.

I get up to bat after Conner grounding out. I look at the pitch he is starring down his target trying to get the pitch from his catcher. I’m nervous think am I going to hit the ball, where is it going to go, and am I going to get on base.  He gets in the wind up. He starts his motion. Throws the ball I feel it hit my bat. It just feels like I just have a single, so I just star running as hard as I can around the bases well looking at the ball so I know where it is.

I’m  get around first and I look and see the ball it is far out in left center field. So I book it around the bases. I’m heading for second, now third base I look After rounding third I look and I see the short stop with the ball. I think in my head am I going to be safe is he going to get me out? I just sprint towards home and all my teammates are yelling up I touch home and the short stop still has the ball so am safe. I was so happy after that happened and I still am hoping I can hit another home run again.

I’m Sitting on the bench, barley able to breathe. Everyone is coming to congratulate me but I can’t even talk to them. After a while of sitting on the bench the inning ends and I’m playing first so I don’t have to run that much.
