The 7th Inning Home Run


"Nothing compares. Absolutely nothing. That one moment made you feel unstoppable, and all you wanted was to do it over and over again."

The west papua has lead over dki with score of 5-0 in the 7th inning.
It was my third at bat and I was struggling to hit the ball.
I got a runner on first. No down.
The first pitch was a strike. But it just wasn't my ball.
In the second pitch, I hit without knowing where the ball flew.
I thought I will only make it double or triple.
Then I started to slow down while running to third.
But I saw my base coach give me a sign with his hand to keep on runn
ing. Then I started to speed up.
On my way home, I saw the catcher braced ready to catch the ball from the fielder.
Afterthat my eyes shifted to @yukaramadina , the runner who has touch home before me, trying to give a sign through her hand, told me to get down.
I saw her mouth movement shouting "SLIDEEEEEE".
Without thinking further I did a head-first dive and I see my hand touching the tip of the home plate.
In split of seconds, the catcher tagged the ball in her glove to my body.
Afterthat, all I heard was the call from umpire shouting "SAFEEEEE".
And everything happened in a split of second.
