Summer Baseball
Cody Torkelson
Wins and losses, not so good
We had memorable moments though
Game against Postville
Coach Seabrooke was gone
Coach Torkelson filled in
Listened to radio on the way there,
Blue Collar comedy radio
I was pitching,
Pitching pretty well
The best in a while
Their Coach was mad
Cause they were not hitting
Came down to the wire
Riley was batting
Tyler on 2nd
Riley got a hit
Tyler came around to score
Thought he was going to be safe but
It was a closer play than I thought
He was safe
We won the game
My favorite game of the year
Playing baseball with no worries,
That is always a good time

Oh eh indeed it was the greatest game of the year. Blue collar was awesome. Dont forget Mcdonalds and how we were almost late for the second game! Couldn't have described it any better.

I liked how you were certain that Riley was safe, but then second-guessed it. It made it suspenseful.

Cody, I liked the section in the middle where you where explaining what was happening in the game and put spaces after every thought. It made it a lot easier to follow.

I like how you capture the different images of the game, not just the play by play, but even the bus ride leading up to it. It helps to give the reader a better feeling of the total moment.

I liked the last two lines of your poem because they tie together the loose ends. I really like how you described that even though your win loss record didn't show it you were still having fun.

Liked that you told the whole story and not just bits and pieces.
