In a shocking turn of events, Ortiz, a little league player from the town of Mudville, pitched the Guardians to a 4-2 win over the Athletics last night. Fans were left scratching their heads as the pint-sized pitcher baffled the opposing team with his impressive curveball and lightning-fast fastball.
“I couldn’t believe my eyes,” said one fan in disbelief. “Ortiz was out there like a little David taking on Goliath, and he came out on top!”
After the game, Ortiz was swarmed by reporters eager to get his take on his incredible performance. When asked how he managed to outpitch professional athletes, Ortiz simply replied, “I just threw the ball really hard and hoped for the best.”
Even the Athletics players were left in awe of Ortiz’s skills. Star pitcher, Max Power, admitted, “I never thought I’d be outpitched by a kid half my size, but Ortiz has some serious talent. I might have to start taking pointers from him.”
In a post-game interview, Guardians coach, Coach Johnson, couldn’t contain his excitement over Ortiz’s performance. “I always knew Ortiz had potential, but I never expected him to lead us to victory against a team like the Athletics. He’s definitely earned himself a spot in the starting rotation.”
As word of Ortiz’s incredible win spread, Mudville residents couldn’t contain their pride. “We’ve always known Ortiz was something special,” said local resident, Betty Boop. “But to see him take down a team like the Athletics? That’s just the cherry on top!”
Despite the unlikely victory, Ortiz remains humble about his newfound fame. When asked how he plans to celebrate, Ortiz replied, “I think I’ll go home and eat some ice cream. Maybe even stay up past my bedtime. I’m living on the edge now.”
With Ortiz leading the charge, the Guardians are poised to take the league by storm. Who knows what other surprises this little league prodigy has up his sleeve? One thing’s for sure, the Mudville Guardians are in good hands with Ortiz on the mound.
