Seeing that Mia was ready to throw it Alice brought her bat up a little higher. She was a tennis player in the muggle world, so she didn't bring it up too high, choosing to keep it directly at her shoulder.
Alice watched the ball start to come towards her, a nice steady pace, and just at the right moment...
CRACK!!
Alice followed through on the ball and it went sailing over Mia's head and back towards the outfield fence. Alice smiled thoughtfully as she lowered her bat.
"That was a nice pitch!" Alice said sincerely with a smile. "I can't aim to save my life when it comes to throwing." Alice was looking at how far out the ball had landed. "I'll go get that," Alice said, wishing they had a fourth person to work the outfield.
The almighty CRACK that issued from Alice's bat had Mia ducking for cover. She just managed to see the ball fly high in the air and soar all the way into the outfield.
Mia stood back up and gave Alice a smile. The girl was being far too nice. That pitch had sucked majorly. She had told them that she was not very good at this and that throw had just proved it. Not to take away from Alice's batting ability at all.
"Nice hit." She told the girl while throwing Sal an apologetic smile. "No, no. I'll get it."
It was the least she could do. With a small sigh, Mia turned on her heel and jogged over to the outfield to retrieve the ball. Managing to trip over her feet about half a dozen times on the way.
