“Hey, Turtleneck! Think quick!”

Turtleneck dropped the bat and spun around quickly. He caught the protective helmet Nick had tossed to him. Nick laughed.

“Nice to have you back, T,” he called from the dugout.

Turtleneck just grinned and picked up the bat.

Okay, Alec Frost, he said to himself. Throw that ball as hard as you can. I'm ready!

The Peach Street Mudders return

in another action-packed adventure!

After first baseman Turtleneck Jones takes a fast-moving throw from his team's shortstop right in the chest, he starts shying away from the ball and missing easy plays because he's afraid of being hit again. Coach Parker has no choice but to replace Turtleneck with the Mudders' substitute player. Will Turtleneck be able to find his lost confidence—or will he have to be content with a permanent place on the bench?
