Rookies: Squeeze Play
by Mark Freeman"Clutch Hitter! It was the bottom of the eighth, the Elmira Sox down 3-0 to the St. Catherines Blue Jays. With two outs and the bases loaded, the Sox dugout was alive, screaming for a rally. "Now batting for the Sox . . . David Green!" the PA. announced. David dug in at the .plate and waited. The pitcher went into his stretch and fired low and away. Ball one. The next pitch was wildly high, forcing the catcher to reach over his head to grab it. Ball two. "They're gonna walk him with the bases loaded and give us a token run," gasped the Elmira coach, "rather than risk a grand slam!" David saw the next pitch coming, a waist-high fastball almost a foot off the outside corner of the plate. For anyone else it would be another ball. But it looked good enough to David. He went into his power swing and connected with a solid crack!"
