Everyone thinks being a fourteen-year-old fastpitch softball player is nothing but fun and games. But ask Rachel Adams, and you'll learn otherwise. There are millions of problems to deal with, including demanding dads, grumpy coaches, and umpires who make terrible calls. But Rachel really complicates things for herself when she sneaks out with her teammates, meets some boys, and drinks alcohol. Just two weeks prior to the state's championship tournament, she is grounded, suspended from school, nearly kicked off of her team, and injured. Will Rachel succumb to the pressures all around her, or will she rise to the challenge and lead her team to the championship game?
