Examples of eighth in a Sentence
Pinellas County Sheriff Bob Gualtieri:

It was weird, I wasn't nervous at all, i felt like I should have been. I don't know why. I just kept going out there and doing my thing. I was really nervous before the game, leading up to the game. But after the three-pitch eighth inning, I was like, ‘This is possibly going to happen.’.
Yes, it was nice to have another income rolling in, but it wasn’t like my family couldn’t exist without me working, and when I finished ‘Leave It to Beaver,’ the studio did have another sitcom they wanted me to do, but I had never been to regular school. I had a private tutor from the first grade up until the eighth grade… I wanted to attend regular school and be with other kids. I wanted to play sports.
Case in point, look at' Eighth Grade.' It wasn't nominated and now it's kind of gone, if these smaller studios don't get a nomination it can be the end of the line for some of these titles.
The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are very pleased to share a new photograph of Prince George ahead of Prince George eighth birthday tomorrow.
