Chapter 9: Sly was up to bat and the other team called an infield time out. He had 3 balls on him and on the 4th pitch it was right over the heart of the plate. He nailed it over the right field fence. The score was 4-5. They coach told them never be ashamed to lose, everybody loses sometime but play to win. They got it all tied up. Sly gets back to to bat and the count is 1 and 1. Next pitch he swung like it was a lose balloon. It went over the center field fence. The pitched walked the next 2 batters and the next 2 got out. They won 7-6. Reporters asked him questions. Snooky says the him being a gemini makes him have more ability than an average person. Snooky asks Sly who we always waves at behind 1st base. Annoyed by him Sly say he's gotta go.

But before Sly answers that he runs out and home feeling like he's going to e sick. He gets into bed and sleeps. He misses his next game and his team loses 4-10. After the game a few of the players come over to check on him. They say it's his fault laughing but they understand because they also love pie a'la mode.
