      Bulls and Burglars - Mark Miller

      Chapter 1

      NOW BATTING, NUMBER one, Josh St. Vincent, blared the voice over the loud speaker.

      Josh felt nervous. Weird, he thought, that never happens during a game. He stood in the on-deck circle holding his prized baseball bat named Thunder. Josh read the name of the bat carved into the solid maple wood. He did not want to go to the plate. He did not want it to be his turn to bat.

      This had to be the worst game of Josh’s life. He stood motionless with sweat dripping down his face. Before he went to the plate, he thought about everything that went wrong during this game.

      He started the game by tripping over his own shoelaces. He did not look down when he ran out to the pitcher’s mound. Halfway there, he tripped and the crowd laughed at him.

      Then, he pitched a terrible game. Almost every kid hit his fastball for the first two innings. This made Josh wish he learned to throw some other kind of pitch, like a curve ball.

      With such bad pitching, the coach moved him to first base for the third inning. That did not last very long. Josh let a slow-moving groundball roll between his legs. He did not catch a single ball that was thrown his way. Every runner that he allowed on first base ended up scoring that inning.

      By the fourth inning, the coach decided to move Josh to left field. The visiting team did not have very strong hitters and most hits did not make it out of the infield. Josh spent several innings staring at the ground. He thought he might be able to see the grass grow.

      Finally, one batter did hit a high fly ball. The shot went up in the air and came down almost where he stood. Josh watched the ball all the way. He held up his glove long before he normally would. He did not want to miss this catch.

      He missed it.

      To him, it felt like the ball went straight through his glove. He even checked it for holes. By the time he found the ball where it rolled behind him, that batter had scored a bases-loaded homerun.

      Josh did not have any better luck with his batting. He struck out every time he went to the plate. When the pitcher threw, the ball seemed to move so fast that he could barely see it. Josh never had trouble hitting before. In a normal game, most of his at bats resulted in a solid hit over the center fielder’s head.

      Now he stood, waiting for his last chance to bat. He looked at the scoreboard. The kid holding the numbers changed the visitor’s score to eleven, but his own home team only had nine. His team had a runner on both first and second base. Josh knew if he could hit a double, then it would be a tie game. He also knew if he hit a homerun, they would win. However, if he struck out again, they would lose.

      Josh did not want to think about losing. He did not like to lose.

      Josh, said his
