About This Book
A freshman arrives on a college campus aiming to win a place on the baseball nine and navigates team politics, campus customs, and athletic rivalries. Peers debate captaincy and management while competitors vie for the pitching role, and daily practice and strategy alternate with hazing, pranks, and social life. Tensions rise through scrimmages and intercollegiate contests with a rival school, punctuated by dangerous mishaps, a kidnapping and an escape, and a developing romantic interest. The narrative builds toward a climactic championship game that settles personal disputes and determines the season’s outcome.
