Then answer each question.  \nLuke, Jay and Zach’s Winning Game  \nIt was the last game of the regular season, and Luke’s baseball team, the Wildcats, had to win to make it to the playoffs. Luke really wanted his team to win because he had never been to the playoffs before.  \nThe coach called the whole team into a huddle before the game began. He said, “Whether we win or lose, it has been a great season. You should all be proud of yourselves. Let’s give it our best effort. But remember – a loss won’t lessen the greatness of our team. We have all worked well together and deserve to be proud of our accomplishments.”  \nThe team really was a good one. All of the teammates got along well and encouraged each other. Luke’s best friend, Jay, was on the team too. Luke and Jay were two of the best players on the team, and their teammates looked up to them.  \nThe Purple Sox were the Wildcats’ opponents. They had a pretty good record going into the game, but the Wildcats had an even better record. Both teams and all of their fans were super excited about the game.  \nThe Wildcats got off to a good start. They had three runs by the end of the second inning and had prevented the Purple Sox from scoring any runs.  \nReading and Math for K-5 © [www.k5learning.com](www.k5learning.com)  \nGrade 4 Reading Comprehension Worksheet  \nUnfortunately, the Wildcats had a scoring drought after the second inning. By the end of the fifth inning, the Purple Sox had taken over the lead and were ahead of the Wildcats by four runs.  \nLuke and Jay were starting to worry, but they knew had to remain positive for the sake of the team.  \n“Don’t give up, Wildcats,” urged Jay.  \n“We can do it!” cheered Luke. “Be proud and give it your best effort, like Coach said,” Luke reminded the team.  \nthey  \nOver the next few innings, the Wildcats were able to overcome their scoring drought, and by the bottom of the ninth inning, they were ahead of the Purple Sox by one run, but the Purple Sox had the last at bat for the game. Could the Wildcats hold them off?  \nThere were two outs, and the Purple Sox had one man on first base. The way their lineup fell , their last batter was one of their weakest players. His name was Zach. Everyone liked Zach, but he was known throughout the league to be an easy out. It wasn’t looking good for the Purple Sox.  \nZach approached the plate looking very nervous . His Purple Sox teammates cheered him on with hollers of support. Then they started chanting, “Go Zach. Go Zach. Go Zach. Go” Before too long, the fans joined in on the chant too. Even the Wildcats started cheering because they knew how hard Zach always tried, and they knew what it felt like to not be able to hit the ball . Everyone wanted to see Zach succeed with a hit.  \nGrade 4 Reading Comprehension Worksheet  \nZach started to feel a change flow through his body. He was ready to hit the ball into the stands to help his team win the game.  \nZach swung hard at the first pitch but missed – strike one. He  \nwatched the second pitch coming and knew it was the one. He focused hard and swung the bat nice and smoothly. All of a sudden he felt a powerful connection and heard the thwack of the bat hitting the ball . The ball flew just beyond the pitcher’s reach and landed short of the outfielder.  \nZach ran as hard as he could to first base. He made it. He finally hada single, and his teammate was able to advance to second base. Everyone was tingling with joy.  \nThe next Purple Sox batter was up. Zach felt the excitement; he was ready to run. They might just win the game after all . The batter watched the first two pitches pass by. The third pitch was a different story though. The batter hit a fly ball far into outfield. Unfortunately, it wasn’t far enough. Luke was able to catch the ball and save the  \ngame for the Wildcats.  \nWhen the game ended, both teams shook hands and congratulated eachother. It really was a win for everyone.
