D is the best option.

Explanation:

All of these are well-written, concise sentences, but since this is supposed to be a concluding sentence, so it should do these things:

  • Briefly go over and wrap up what the subject was
  • Be concise and to-the-point
  • Be well written

Sentences A, B, and C are all sentences that would be included in the actual story - but not used as the conclusion sentence.

D is a wonderful conclusion sentence because:

  • It briefly goes over and wraps up the subject: "The boy's exciting experience pitching in a big game."
  • It is concise and leaves the readers satisfied with the conclusion.
  • It is well written.
