9 Innings

Baseball is a cat
Only having 9 innings
Only having 9 lives
First 3 innings
Go by fast
Playing relaxed     
Barely breaking a sweat
Next 3 innings     
Developing the meat of the game     
Pressure builds up
Playing a little tentative
Last 3 innings
Dripping in sweat
Every play counts
Crowd on their feet
Blood rushing in their veins
Then, just like that
The lights shut out in the stadium
