They were

pumped. It was 

the top of the sixth

the last inning of

the game.

The Reds were

down 3-2 against

the Cubs their

arch-rivals. It was

definitely time for

rally caps. Kyle

was too nervous to

sit down. He

leaned forward

against the tall

chain-link fence in

front of the Reds

bench his hands

clutching a couple

of high links. Nate

Bloom and Claire

Montaigne his

teammates and

best friends were

pressed against it

too.
