BENCH WARMER

so last week i was so excited and pumped about our two games that were coming up on Saturday. i thought about the games all day and then practically dreamed about them at night. i just had a feeling they were gonna be some of my best games ever! the first game started and we were the visiting team so we were up to bat first. i was third at bat. standing in the on deck circle i was swinging away as i pondered the ball making that perfect connection to the bat hitting that sweet spot that will make you want to cry tears of joy. finally it was my time to shine. i stepped into the batters box as i took my sweet time making sure i was completely ready for the 1st pitch that i was gonna crush! i looked straight at the pitcher and with a little fear in her eye she finally released the pitch. i swung the bat like it was my last swing ever and never even looked at where the ball was sailing off too as i started my race to 1st base. i knew i hit the ball hard and far enough to make it to 1st so i ran with no worries until suddenly it was all down hill. i felt a pain that is like no other in my right leg just below my calve muscle. it was as if my ankle had seperated from my leg and i could'nt take another step. how could this happen again? it was the same injury i suffered over the summer but a different leg. i was so bummed. the pain was unbareable but to have to miss out on 2 games that night was just unimaginable! i was suddenly a benchwarmer. i'll be out another week but thankfully this weekends games are postponed because of Halloween so i won't have to sit the bench any more. until next time...
