Theyll be shooting to make the National Fastpitch Softball World Series, playing against the best teams from around the country. MadCat is thrilled.

Their coach tells them the most important thing is to play to win. MadCats best friend, Jess, isnt fun anymore all she can think about is beating the competition, both inside and outside the team. Things are getting tenser and tenser. The Stings winning all their games; theyre sure to make it to the big time. They know nothing can stop them, not when their motto is Eating Dirt Is Better Than Losing. But is winning really more important than anything? Or will all their victories just add up to nothing?
