his eye and warmth in heart. the boys saw the fathers joy at his son being accepted.in the bottom of the eighth inning, shays team scored a few runs but was still behind by three. in the top of the final inning, shay put on a glove and played in the field. even though no hits came his way, he was obviously joyful just to be in the game and on the field. in the bottom of the final inning, shays team scored again. now, shay was scheduled to be next at bat. would they let shay bat and give away their chance to win the game?surprisingly, shay was given the bat. everyone knew that a hit was

intentions and he too intentionally threw the ball high and far over the third basemans head.all were screaming，“shay，shay，shay，all the way shay.” shay reached third base when one opposing player ran to help him and shouted, “shay, run to third.” as shay rounded third, all were on their feet, crying,“shay, run home！”shay ran to home, stepped on the home base and was cheered as the hero who the who won the game for his team.that day, the boys from both teams helped bring a piece true love and humanity into this world. shay didnt make it to another summer and died that winter, having never forgotten being the hero and making his father so happy and coming home and seeing his mother tearfully hug her little hero of the day!6. in the bottom of the final inning shay was given the bat
