"So am I," added George Dixon.
The Brooksides were soon to the bat. One man managed to get to second, but that was all.
"Now, Lakeport, is your last chance!"
The first player to the bat went out on a foul. The second got to first and then to third. But the next man was struck out, and a short fly followed which was gathered in by the second baseman of the Brooksides.
"All over!" announced the umpire.
"Seven to seven! Eleven innings and a tie!"
"Boys, that was a swell game, wasn't it?"
"Best game I ever saw in my life!"
So the comments ran on, while the rival players gathered together and shook hands.
