Softball Stories

Book 3 of In The Margins Series! Can be read as a standalone! Lucia Pierce has spent her entire life learning what it means to be great. At twenty-four, she is one of the most talented college softball pitchers in the country, carrying a reputation that seems to grow with every game. Everyone expects her to succeed. Her coaches believe in her. Scouts are watching. Her family is endlessly proud of her. And Lucia knows just how lucky she is to have a life filled with people who love her unconditionally. So why does it sometimes feel like she's drowning beneath it all? Between a demanding final year of college, the pressure to prove herself on the mound, expectations for her future, and the constant fear of what happens if she isn't everything everyone believes she can be, Lucia has become an expert at keeping the harder parts of herself hidden. Because being the best has always felt easier than admitting she's tired. She's spent so long trying to balance everything - school, softball, her future, her family, and the expectations she's placed on herself - that somewhere along the way, she starts losing pieces of who she is. And the worst part? She doesn't know how to stop it. She doesn't know how to ask for help. She doesn't know how to slow down. She doesn't even know who Lucia Pierce is when she isn't standing on a pitcher's mound, chasing the next win, the next record, the next expectation. She's drowning beneath a life that looks perfect from the outside, slowly losing herself while pretending she has everything under control. Nothing feels right anymore. Until Addie.

Ryland Mühl is the younger sister of Nika and Hana Mühl Ryland is a genius not only on the basketball court or softball field but she is a 13 year old senior in high school. Ryland plays softball for her high school and basketball for AAU. Ryland moved to America because she was to smart for the schools in Croatia. Take a look into the crazy life of this 13 year old in a world of adults.

Rin Tanaka has always understood softball better than people. From behind home plate, everything makes sense. She can read a batter's stance, catch the smallest change in a pitcher's release, and see a play forming before anyone else on the field does. It's where she's most comfortable-calling pitches, chasing wins, and proving that being a left-handed catcher doesn't make her any less capable. Kageyama Tobio is different. He's blunt, intense, impossible to read, and somehow just as obsessed with volleyball as Rin is with softball. Their worlds should have stayed separate, connected only by the fact that he happens to play with her older brother. Instead, they keep colliding. Shared gym space turns into conversations. Conversations turn into something harder to ignore. And somewhere between practices, games, school projects, bruised knees, bad tempers, and the pressure to keep winning, Rin starts to realize that Kageyama might understand her in a way she never expected. Neither of them is looking for love. Their timing might just be perfect anyway. -DISCLAIMER- There will be some uses of string language in this book. Along with thoughts of depression, fluff, and maybe a lemon, I haven't got that far yet.

keilani ponce has always loved two things-surfing and softball. growing up in southern california, she spent mornings chasing waves and afternoons on the diamond. now twenty-four, keilani is a second-year medical student at UCLA, already holding a master's degree in biology and beginning her clinical rotations while still finding time for the two things that have always made her feel most like herself. then her older brother, dalton ponce, pitcher for the party animals, introduces her to one of his teammates and closest friends-bronson "bronny" balholm. bronny is another california kid who calls Los Angeles home, and from the moment they meet, something between them just clicks. late-night hitting sessions turn into tacos and tacos turn into long conversations. soon, bronny is waiting outside the hospital after her clinicals, keilani is watching his games whenever she can, and dalton is seriously regretting ever introducing his little sister to his teammate. keilani is not looking for love and bronny's banana ball career keeps him on the road, while her future in medicine demands nearly everything she has. but somewhere between california beaches, hospital hallways, baseball stadiums, stolen weekends, and one very protective older brother, they begin to realize that sometimes home isn't a place. sometimes, it's a person. but, sometimes, you have to take the risk- and steal home.

"BATTER IS OUT! That is ballgame," shouted the umpire as Arreis dove and caught a line drive from short stop. The game saving catch was executed to perfection her coach would tell her. Her best friend Alex and the other girls in the team convinced Arreis to go to a party to celebrate the victory. Little did she know that she would meet someone from a different diamond. A baseball diamond. And for her, this was a completely new ballgame.

Asher Ruiz is an enigma. He barely understands himself. How else is the rest of the church supposed to understand him...although you know, it's not like they tried. Rebecca Withers lives to please. Or at least she tries, she's not even sure why she tries to accomplish what she does half the time. But let's not bring complicated family matters into church. Nick Forte is a self-proclaimed big brother. Half the time people want to slap him for getting so "preachy" but they really should stop going to him for advice. He just wants to get through college with his sanity intact, although he's sure youth group would beg to differ. Maybe they have more in common than they thought? Nahh....
