All Alex wants this spring is to work on his fastball and hang out with his maybe-girlfriend, Christine. But he runs into unexpected competition. Matt Gordon was suspended from sports after he admitted taking PEDs during football season, but the athletic board has decided to give him another chance. So he s on the team and he s got something to prove. He s also got his eye on Christine. The question this season is all fair in love and baseball? Or are some things truly unforgivable?
