Tammy and her friends from the Lady Tigers fastpitch softball team are a force to be reckoned with, but the boys don’t seem to think softball is that hard. When the challenge is accepted, both the girls and the boys have an eye-opening experience. The Lady Tigers know what it truly means to play like a girl. Competition between boys and girls is practically a staple of growing up, especially in activities where spirits run high—like dedicated sports teams. The Lady Tigers and the local boys’ baseball team are no different. But through their ball-based rivalry, children from both teams learn not only to play, but to respect the other team’s sport as well. Although baseball seems like a foreign game, Tammy and her friends learn that there are similarities to recognize and differences to explore in both sports. Trying something new can lead to wonderful discoveries and unexpected friends. At the end of the day, both baseball and softball players want the same thing: a great group of teammates, a healthy pastime, and lots of smiles as they take part in their favorite game. | Tammy Tries Baseball by Dawn Brotherton, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
