Silence, the only sounds you could
hear were the metal spikes clacking against the tile floors of the men’s locker
room. The team sat down on the benches and looked at the door waiting for our
coach to walk in. All of a sudden, the door slammed against the wall and our
coach storms inside with an expression of rage across his face. He had a reason
to be mad. A four game losing streak was nothing to be happy about. We were six
games under .500 and slowing becoming a non-factor in the division. We had a very
tough road schedule coming up, playing the top 3 teams in the division.
Welcome to Central Dauphin High School, home of
the Rams. Would everyone please stand and remove their caps for the playing of
our National Anthem. That is how every home baseball game started at my high
school. This game didn’t feel like any ordinary home game, it felt different,
and it was. This game was the first playoff baseball game in 5 years at Central
Dauphin. Twenty teams made district playoffs, we were the 14th seed.
