She was just retrieving the ball when Sal called out for them to 'play ball.' Rubbing her head with one hand, Mia picked up the ball with the other and took her position just as Alice said that she was ready.
Okay Mia, try not to take anyone's head off.
Taking a deep breath, Mia rolled the ball in her hand and then threw it to Alice. It was the worst throw ever. A real lollypop if she ever did see one.
Eh Alice was probably going to smash this one out of the park.
Alice wasn't sure if she should ask Mia if she was okay or not, since that bonk to the head seemed like it would be painful, but she figured drawing attention to her misjudgment would only makes things worse.
Seeing that Mia was ready to throw it Alice brought her bat up a little higher. She was a tennis player in the muggle world, so she didn't bring it up too high, choosing to keep it directly at her shoulder.
Alice watched the ball start to come towards her, a nice steady pace, and just at the right moment...
CRACK!!
Alice followed through on the ball and it went sailing over Mia's head and back towards the outfield fence. Alice smiled thoughtfully as she lowered her bat.
"That was a nice pitch!" Alice said sincerely with a smile.
"I can't aim to save my life when it comes to throwing." Alice was looking at how far out the ball had landed.
"I'll go get that," Alice said, wishing they had a fourth person to work the outfield.
