Home Run! — Robert Montgomery

Why won't anyone listen to me? That's what Robbie Belmont wants to know. He's been a star pitcher all through grade school. But Coach Franklin won't let him use his best pitch, a slider. Without it, Robbie knows he won't make Riverton High School's varsity as a pitcher. How will he impress pretty Cynthia Wu then? But Robbie does make varsity-as a catcher! That's not what he wanted at all. But he'll have to decide: catch or be off the team. And if he catches, Robbie will be competing with the one guy who hates his guts, Eddie Mosely.
