    TRACY MATLOCK: SECOND BASE The Scrappers can't make any mistakes if they're to have a chance at playing their rivals, the Mustangs, for the second-half championship. The trouble is, ever since Tracy got struck in the face by a ball, she backs off if one is hit hard to her. Has Tracy become the weak link in the Scrappers' armor? Maybe it's time for Tracy to give up baseball and move on with her life. Gloria's "winning is everything" attitude is starting to get to her, and quitting the game would certainly make Tracy's mother happy. But first, there's a game to win -- and being a part of that may just matter more to Tracy than she realizes.
