The baseball player steps up to the plate. She scuffs at the dirt; she clutches her bat.
In extra innings the game is still tied.
"Don't let me strike out.
Please save me from that."
The pitcher flashes a wicked grin.
Her fastball seems like
It's shot from the sun.
The ball is thrown fast; the batter swings hard.
She gazes in awe. She's hit a home run!

How did the batter probably feel before the pitch?
