Ch 10 Hey, Batter

Sam dipped his bat downwards, tapped the dirt a few times, then raised it again. He bent his knees slightly and concentrated on the pitcher.

Sam usually avoided participating in sports, but Zach and Angela ganged up on him, saying the inter-dorm softball tournament was plain old fun, a chance to relax and blow off steam before midterms.

The bases were loaded with two outs.

Sam tracked the softball as the pitcher threw his best fastball.

Winchesters played to win. "Can't you tell by the name?" Dean's laughing voice taunted as Sam's bat connected solidly with the ball.

Home run.

A/N: Oops, I sort of messed up my timeline, since midterms are well before Thanksgiving. Oh well, everything is still set in Sam's freshman year at Stanford, just mentally tab this one back a few chapters, please;-)
