About This Book

A talented small-town pitcher accepts his family's wish that he attend university while determined to earn a spot on the varsity baseball nine. The narrative follows his campus adjustment, friendships, rivalries and pranks, early practices, unexpected opportunities, a sore arm and damaging accusations, and the efforts to prove himself and win return to form. Episodes of plotting, an anonymous letter, and a climactic championship game test loyalty, skill, and character as he seeks vindication and sporting triumph.
