will mark brainliest 30 points, im in a test rn, heres the story we're reading
1Owen kicked dirt beyond home plate, sending cloudy powder into the humid summer air. He scowled and pouted. He exhaled up at the sweat that trickled down his forehead as he hoisted the densely packed satchel from the ground. His baseball team, the Trail Blazers, had just won yet another series game; Owen, however, was feeling irritated.
2He observed his teammates surrounding George, who had driven in the winning run. George was the team’s finest hitter, and the other players cheered, clapped, and high-fived him. The victory elated them.
3Owen never got to participate as much as he wanted to. As the equipment boy, he carried the weighty gear, but he felt that no one appreciated him. No one ever gave Owen a high-five subsequent to a game, and the team never once raised him onto their shoulders.
4Owen speculated on the possibilities: What would it be like to come up to bat? To swing and bat the baseball above the outfield barrier? What would it be like to sprint around the bases with the ball in play like a motivating wind at your back?
5It must be wonderful, he thought, but he’d probably never receive the opportunity to find out what life was like in George’s shoes.
6Owen stumbled into the dugout and plopped himself onto the bench. Coach Jones flipped papers on his clipboard while chewing his gum at a furious pace.
7“Is there anyone who can’t play in next week’s tournament?” he asked.
8George’s hand took off in the air like a rocket. He explained that his sister, Susannah was graduating on Saturday, and he wouldn’t be able to attend the important game.
9The coach scribbled a note while simultaneously explaining that someone would have to replace George in the game. Coach scanned the roster, reading the players’ names.
10Pick me, thought Owen as he squeezed his eyes shut and wished. Give me a chance to fill George’s shoes. Coach Jones pointed at Owen, saying, “What do you reckon, slugger? Think you could fill George’s shoes?”
