Howard K’s In Key Situation

 The ducks were on the pond as they say.  Phillies slugger Ryan Howard was up there with a chance to win it.  The tying and winning runs were in scoring position. 

A single would make him a hero.  Howard was at home in St. Louis where he could have done it and been the hero. 

The nation was dialed in.   The tension had built through a long at bat.  The players, coaches and managers in the opposing dugouts watched anxiously.  

The crowd was eager as they hoped for the best.  Howard had worked the count to 2-2 after getting behind 0-2 early.  Could he make some brand new All-Star history?

The pitch was on it's way.  It didn't get half way there and Howard was swinging.  He was thinking fastball but Minnesota closer Joe Nathan had thrown a curve.

The pitch almost hit him the foot.  He tried to check his swing, but he had already committed.  It was done deal.  He was out and a great chance for the National League to come back and steal the game was gone.

The Nationals lost again and the American League has won 12 straight All-Star games and game has ended in a tie.
