A game similar to baseball is being played as a ball closes in on the player who is ready to strike.
A boy is about to hit a home run.
The player may not be a boy. The ball could close in on the player who is ready to strike, but they may not hit a home run.
Just because the player is about to hit the ball doesn't mean the player will hit a home run.
