6 Superstar!

SUPERSON ZEKE STEPPED INTO THE BATTER'S BOX. He glanced over at Harris and nodded, tight-lipped. He turned and stared at the pitcher. Harris took this as a sign that Zeke had decided not to use his powers. He watched anxiously as the pitcher threw her first pitch.

超人齐克走进了击球手的包厢。 他瞥了哈里斯一眼，抿着嘴点了点头。 他转过身，盯着水罐。 哈里斯认为这是齐克决定不再使用他的超能力的信号。 他焦急地看着投手投出第一球。

Zeke swung wildly. He didn't even coming close to hitting the ball. The same thing happened on the next pitch, and the one afterward. Three swings, three strikes. Zeke was out. Harris was up next. As he walked to the plate, he passed Zeke heading back to the bench with his head down.

齐克疯狂地摇摆着。他甚至连击球的机会都没有。 同样的事情发生在下一次投球，以及之后的一次。 三振，三振。 齐克出去了。哈里斯是下一个。 当他走向本垒板时，他经过了低着头回板凳的齐克。

"Good try, Zeke," Harris said. "Don't worry, you'll get a hit next time." Zeke said nothing and sat down. Harris lined the first pitch he saw into left field. After him, the Chargers got a bunch of hits. By the time the inning ended, they had scored three runs. Back out on the mound, Zeke continued to play without using his powers. His pitching was slowly getting better, but the Scrappers still managed to score three runs to tie up the game.

“好样的，齐克。”哈里斯说。 “别担心，下次你会命中的。” 齐克什么也没说，坐了下来。 哈里斯把他看到的第一个球打到左外野。 在他之后，闪电队打出了很多安打。 到这局结束时，他们已经得了三分。 回到投手丘上，齐克没有使用他的力量继续比赛。 他的投球慢慢地变得更好，但拳击手队仍然设法得到三分以追平比赛。

"You're doing good out there, Zeke," Harris said as the two friends sat on the bench. "But they tied the game," Zeke pointed out. "It doesn't matter," said Harris. "Your pitching is getting better each inning." And then, lowering his voice, he added: "without any 'extra help.'" It was Zeke's turn at bat again. And again he swung and missed at three pitches in a row.

“你干得不错，齐克。”两人坐在长凳上时，哈里斯说。 “但是他们打平了，”齐克指出。 “没关系。”哈里斯说。 “你的投球每一局都在进步。” 然后，他压低了声音，补充说：“没有任何额外的帮助。’”又轮到齐克击球了。 他再次挥棒，连续三次投球都没击中。

Zeke headed back out to the mound. Harris could see the frustration mounting on his face. "Forget about striking out, Zeke," Harris shouted as he took his position behind the plate. "Let's just get these next three guys out." Zeke pitched well, but the Scrappers scored a run to take a 4–3 lead heading into the bottom of the final inning.

齐克回到了投手丘。 哈里斯看得出来，他脸上的挫败感越来越强烈。 “忘了三振出局吧，齐克。”哈里斯一边在本垒板后面找位置，一边喊道。 “让我们把剩下的三个人弄出来吧。” 齐克投得很好，但报废者队得了一分，以4-3领先进入最后一局。

The first two batters for the Chargers made two quick outs. With nobody on base, Roxy came up to bat. "C'mon now! Keep it alive, Roxy!" Harris shouted. Roxy hit the first pitch to right field for a single. "Yeah!" cried Harris. Zeke was up next. The game was on the line.

闪电队的前两名击球手快速出局两次。 没有人上垒，罗克西上场击球。 “现在来吧!保持活力，罗克西！”哈里斯喊道。 罗克西一球击中右外野打了一垒安打。 “是啊！”哈里斯叫道。齐克是下一个。 比赛已经到了关键时刻。
