This spring I tried out for the Youth Baseball Team. Finally, I got a 1 , saying “Mike Davis: sometimes
backup (后补的) outfielder (外野手), possibly left”.
The position didn’t sound so 2 and I was a little upset.
The next day before the first game, Coach pointed to the 3 of us. “Mike Davis and Emily Hall, go
to the outfield (外场). Practice!”
We practiced but failed a lot. Then Emily and I stood there 4 the games. Unluckily, our team lost
the first two games.
At home, I asked my brother, “Do you think Coach will put me in a 5 ?” He thought for a while and
shook his head. “It probably will 6 happen.”
That night in bed, I thought about Coach’s words to us, “If you do your best, you’ll see 7 .”
I started practicing every day at home. When I practiced at the field, Coach looked at me as if trying to 8
who I was.

but 10 had noticed.

and 11 practicing. I felt myself improved.

“Sometimes backup outfielder, possibly left: 13 THE FIELD!”
I tried all my best to play along with my teammates. Finally, the game was over and we 14 !
After the game, the coaches from other teams asked me. “What 14 do you play?”
