The game got under way and the teams were almost all ready.
Sakura looked at her team captain as he asked," Does anyone here pitch? If we're gonna start the game then we need a pitcher." he explained.
Sakura thought and looked around,' Wait, if I pitched for softball, maybe I can pitch here too!' she thought. " I-I can, I mean, Ive never pitched for baseball but I have pitched for softball before, maybe I can try." Sakura told them.
They all looked at her in shock. then one of them replied," What do ya say captain, should we give her a chance?"
" I guess we can, but just remember, most of this scrimage is counting on you Sakura." he told her.
She nodded and they all went to their assigned positions.
Sakura was mow at the pitchers mound. She bent down and picked up the ball, staring at it and thinking, ' This whole game counts on me, I have to believe in what my friends told me, well, here goes nothing.'
Sakura looked up and saw the catcher, he smiled at her and put on his helmet.
The batter finally came afterwards. Sakura was ready, this was it, time to show that son of a bitch coach what she could do!
She slowly raised her arm in the air, turned to her side, lifting her leg a little, and released the ball with all her might.

He watched the ball fly toward the batter with great speed.
Sasuke stood behind the batters box, behind the fence.
All of the sudden the batter swung and a loud smack was heard.
Sasukes eyes widdened,' No way...' he thought.
Then they heard someone yell...
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sakura looked shocked at what had happened. All of a sudden she was broke from her daze when someone yelled," SSSTTTTRRRRIIIIIIKKKKKKEEEE!" loudly across the field.
Everyone was silent. Even the coach was shocked. Then the captain of their tryout team called time out and ran up to her, " I thought you said you've never pitched baseball before!" he told her excitedly.
" And I told the truth, Ive never pitched baseball, only softball." Sakura replied.
" Well it looked like you were pretty experenced out there, great job, with you on our team pitching we actually have a chance, now we'll just have to see how you do batting, you were so meant for this team!"
he told her, then ran of again.
' Thats what everyone told me,' she thought. A smirk appeared on her face. ' Im living my dream, Im finally playing on a baseball team.'
' YEAH, NOW LETS SHOW THESE BOYS, AND SASUKE OF COURSE, WHAT WERE MADE OF!' screamed inner Sakura in delight.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It had been a while and they were now heading in for their turn to bat.
Sakura sat on the bench in the dugout wondering when she was going to be up to bat.
She watched as the other team got into their assigned positions and she saw Sasuke head to the pitchers mound also.
Sakura was not completly shocked though. She knew he must have been a good pitcher.
He looked so concentrated. It was like watching someone do a standardized teast but without the pencils and the test.
Sasuke drew back the ball and was now in the same formation that Sakura was in when she pitched. He then whipped the ball and it landed in the catchers glove perfectly.
Sakura was amazed with his talent, he was indeed very skilled. No wonder he was the team captain.
Then, suprisingly, he looked over at her. She quickley looked away hiding the blush daring to appear on her face.
" Sakura, you're up."
" Huh, oh, ok!"
Sakura got on her blue and black batting gloves, got her bat, and put on her helmet.
She stepped up to the plate and gently tapped the home plate with the bat. Sakura got into her ready stance and raised the bat, she was so ready to do this.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sasuke stared at her. She had a look of confedence in her emerald green eyes. ' You so like her dont you?'
' What? No I dont what the hell are you talking about leave me alone Im in the middle of a game!
' Fine but only because you're playing baseball! But I will be back!
' Whatever.'
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Finally the game got under way. Sakura was ready and everyone was waiting on Sasuke, who was recently getting over a battle with his inner self.
Then he snapped out of it and got ready to pitch the ball.
' Heres the wind-up, and here comes the pitch, 3,2,1' Sakura thought to herself.
Sakura dug her feet into the hard gravel beneath her and tightened her grip on the bat. She swong at the baseball and...
