What Happened

Trey Turner of the Los Angeles Dodgers steps up to the plate in the bottom of the first inning. On the first pitch, an inside fastball, Turner swings and his bat goes flying out of his hands, the ball boy quickly springing into action to retrieve it. "I usually do balls, but I'll do bats," the ball boy says, grabbing the errant bat and spraying it down with grip tape to help dry Turner's slippery hands. Turner tests out the newly-treated bat, squeezing it and nodding in satisfaction, declaring "This feels good." The pitcher delivers another inside fastball, and this time, Turner makes solid contact, launching a towering home run deep into the stands. "Thanks, bat," Turner says, trotting around the bases after giving the bat a celebratory pat. The home run puts the Dodgers on the board early in the game, though they still trail by a run. Trey Turner, the star shortstop, has shown his ability to quickly adapt to an unexpected situation, using the ball boy's quick thinking to regain control of his bat and deliver a crucial hit for his team. With the score 1-0 in the bottom of the first, the Dodgers will look to build on Turner's momentum and even the game against their opponent. The home crowd roars its approval as Turner rounds third base, the team hoping this timely homer can spark a comeback victory.
