The Winning Fastball

Once upon a time, there was a Little League team called the "Mighty Mitts". They had a coach who always taught them to play fair and have fun. One day, they were playing a game and it was the last inning. The pitcher was throwing a really fast fastball and the catcher had his mask on, ready to catch it. The signal from the pitcher came and the catcher put his mitt up. The pitcher threw the fast one and the batter hit the ball high into the air. It was a pop-up! The first baseman ran to catch it and tagged the runner for the final out. The Mighty Mitts won the game and everyone cheered. The End.
