The Runner is Out

by Ryan Erickson

 

I am the one who catches the pitch.

I block the balls into the dirt,

keep my eye on the runners,

give the pitcher a sign,

crouch down, and receive the ball

get up in a hurry.

Throw the ball down to second

shortstop puts on the tag--

the runner is out.
