Publisher Description:
It's the worst sound I've ever heard in all my years of umping.
Oh, I've heard plenty of pitches hit a helmet.
But this . . . this fastball, up and in.
This one hit bone, right in the face.
Not even a scream or grunt from the kid.
He went down like he was shot.

In the bottom of the last inning against their biggest rival, Oak Grove High has two men on base and the score is tied. Luke "Wizard" Wallace is at bat, and he knows what he needs to do: drive in the winning run, save the game, and be a hero.

Luke has everything under control, except the pitch.
