Literally Taking One for the Team
Went to state softball tournament age 11. We had a runner on first, they had been walked. It was near the end of the game like 6-0 we had zero. I literally let this girl pitch a 45 mph ball and hit me, causing a walk. The runner that was on first was the only run we scored that game.
It wouldn’t have happened if I didn’t get pelted. I had a bruise for like 2 weeks. My team was V proud of me. Story credit: Reddit / dinorawrcaq13
