Books with title STRIKING OUT

Catherine loves to play baseball. Last year she and her two best friends were on the winning team. But things are a little different this year. Catherine’s with a wacky group of weirdos that already has three strikes against it: There’s Matt and Lucy, who always seem to be doing something other than playing ball. . . . Strike one! There’s Alex, who’s always tripping over his own big feet, and Julie, who hates to get dirty. . . . Strike two! And the new coach is Catherine’s mom, who wouldn’t know a baseball from a base hit. . . . Strike three! Can Catherine help pull this hodgepodge of leftovers together in time for the league championship? Or will the team strike out before it even gets a chance to play?
