88Ok, here we go, we got a real pressure cooker
89going here, two down, nobody on, no score,
90bottom of the ninth, there's the wind-up and
91there it is, a line shot up the middle, look
92at him go. This boy can really fly!
93He's rounding first and really turning it on
94now, he's not letting up at all, he's gonna
95try for second; the ball is bobbled out in center,
96and here comes the throw, and what a throw!
97He's gonna slide in head first, here he comes, he's out!
98No, wait, safe--safe at second base, this kid really
99makes things happen out there.
100Batter steps up to the plate, here's the pitch--
101he's going, and what a jump he's got, he's trying
102for third, here's the throw, it's in the dirt--
103safe at third! Holy cow, stolen base!
104He's taking a pretty big lead out there, almost
105daring him to try and pick him off. The pitcher
106glance over, winds up, and it's bunted, bunted
107down the third base line, the suicide squeeze in on!
108Here he comes, squeeze play, it's gonna be close,
109here's the throw, there's the play at the plate,
110holy cow, I think he's gonna make it!
