Advent, Bottom-9

(Found here)

In the long history of the game—

unrelenting in its back & forth—in late innings

and unseen by but an attentive few,
a sacrifice bunt was called. In lieu

of the hoped-for home-run, a bunt?
Surely a mistake but there it sat,

down in the dirt and unimpressive
as expected. But clearly unexpected

in that it caught them on their heels,
the victory careening home as we

pressed up against the fence, our hearts
in our throats beating

                                get here, get here.
