Marci watched closely as Benny walked up to the home plate to bat. It was two weeks before school ended and the boys wanted to play baseball. Benny had a determined look on his face as his eyes were set on the baseball in the pitchers hand. The pitcher threw the ball and Benny hit it with a smack. He ran past first and second but the other boys decided to play money in the middle as he tried to get to third.
Ham, being the competitive one screamed, "Go! Go! Go!" And the Sandlot team ran to the field. As the boy in the yellow shirt threw it to another boy, Benny, being the fastest, ran to third and stole home.
The team cheered as Benny reached them, panting. While Benny gave them high-fives, Marci walked up to them handing Benny a bottle of water.
"You're always prepared Shorty." Benny said using her nickname as he gulped down the water. Marci was short for her age, standing at 4'10 for a 13 year old. Though it looked light in the sun, her hair was a deep chocolate brown pulled into a pony tail that flowed past her shoulders.
"Actually, I'm just smart. It was kind of stupid of you not to bring water while playing baseball." Marci said smiling at him.
Marci, Ham, and Benny walked home as they reached Ham's street.
"Come over at 9:00" Benny reminded Ham as he began to walk away. The boys said their goodbyes as Marci said, "Mae sure to bring water." Marci gave a pointed look to Benny, who raised his hands up as if surrendering.
"Bye Shorty." Benny said hugging her. She placed a hand on his chest pushing him away with a playful disgusted look on her face.
"One-I live next to you, Two-You're sweaty, go take a shower." Marci said as Benny chuckled.
"Bye Benny." Marci said waving as she opened her front door and closed it.
"Bye Marci." Benny whispered using her real name.
Hey guys! I know baseball only has nine players but for the sake of this story I'm making it ten.
Disclaimer: I, sadly, don't own sandlot. :(
Oh well, I know I have the story for the third movie but it won't be updated till I finish this one cuz there's an important reason.
