Two days later, Victor was at the baseball park. He was in a baseball outfit with a baseball cap on. By the bleachers, Sparky was sitting next to Elsa and her dog Persephone. The Bull Terrier was tied up. So far, Victor missed the first ball "Strike one!" The gym teacher said. "Nice try, son," Victor's dad tried to incourage his son to continue. Mr. Ryskuruski's words kept repeating in Victor's head. "I want you to concentrate on your project for the science fair....." Victor tried to forget about it and tried to concentrate on baseball. He swings his bat again. "Strike two!" The gym teacher cried.
