Hank Fletcher is an ace. He has a deadly arsenal of three pitches. The first: a one-hundred miles per hour (mph) plus, fastball. The second: an eighty-five mph slider that falls off the table as it crosses the plate. And the third: a sixty-five mph knuckleball that floats down to home plate like a butterfly. He's the only pitcher in the history of Major League Baseball to ever throw a one hundred mph fastball and a knuckleball.
In the last game of a season the Red Sox would hope to soon forget, they face-off against the New York Yankees, with a chance to send them home, too. Hank Fletcher is called-up from the minors to pitch, and he's well on his way to completing a no-hitter, when he's suddenly confronted by the ghost of his abusive father.
Can Hank overcome his past and finish the no-hitter?

Slugger
Alex Moore has played baseball all her life. She loved it so much, she planned to try to go to the pros. It was the last inning of their last game, in middle school of coarse. It was 2 outs and the score was 16-15, in our favor. As the pitch was thrown, you could hear the baseball hit the sweet spot on the bat. Everyone thought it was a goner but, there was a certain outfielder/center-fielder playing, Alex. She ran her fastest and got to the fence. She locked her foot into the fence and pushed with all her might. The results were unbelievable for the other team. She has caught it! As she walked back to line up, no one was cheer for her at all but there was a certain person that came all the way from Tokyo to America to see this girl. It was Rei Takashima. A few weeks later Alex had gotten a letter that changed her life for good.Complete
The Silver Fighter | ✓
"I already killed your mother, Cam." As the words left my enemy's mouth like a mocking sneer, I growled under my breath at the mention of my old name. Memories started to boil up that I had been wanting to squash deep into my heart. Bad memories. "As you can guess, I'm here to finish the job." He continued with that ever-present sinister smirk on his face. And in that moment, a sudden burst of confidence just appeared within me. Or blatant stupidity. 'I'll take either one.' I silently admitted to myself. I rolled my eyes at his so-called 'threat', not really intimidated in the least. "Yeah, like that went so well the first time. The first time, you fucked up enough to get caught by the police." I pointed out. "The second time, your grown-ass men got their asses handed to them by two teenagers." I snorted at him. "Your odds aren't looking too good here, Berti." ~•~ Losing her father? Lovely. Getting in a car accident with her aunt, uncle, and cousin and being the sole survivor? Fantastic. Losing her mother because a deranged psychopath holds a grudge even better than The Grinch? Amazing. Being ostracized from her own family save from her paternal grandparents, and getting the blame for her mother's death? Cherry on top of the cake. Having to make sure three idiotic twats don't get themselves killed because they couldn't mind their own bloody business? Bloody hell, that's an entire ice cream cake with ten pounds of gummy bears. ~•~ Join Grace Stanton as she faces her demons and the demons of her past all while trying not to commit murder against her three new friends. Fun times. (First book in the Gilded series) ~•~ [#1 Streetracer - 4/21/21] [#1 Gangs - 9/16/21] [#1 Boxer - 9/12/21] [#1 Fighter - 12/11/21] [#2 Boxing - 9/3/21] [#1 Girlpower - 2/12/21]Complete
