without mercy,making him sweat.  \nWhatever the reason,Zero wasn't pitchingwell.It was the bottom of the fourth inning,and the score was 2-0 in favor of theBearcats.There were no outs,and Zero hadalready given up a hit and a walk.The counton the present batter was 2 and 0.Two moreballs and the bases would be loaded.  \nHe wasn't surprised when Chess Laveen,the Peach Street Mudders'catcher,calledtime and walked out to the mound,his browfurrowed.  \n“What's happening?I keep giving you atarget and you keep missin'it by a mile.\"  \n\"I know,I know.\"Did Chess think he wasblind?  \n\"Well,maybe if you cut out all that fancystuff,you'd put a few over the plate.If youkeep going this way,Coach will take youout,\"cautioned Chess.He jogged back to hisposition behind the plate,shaking his head.  \nZero heaved a sigh.Didn't anyone realizethat he was just trying to stump the batters?His uncle Pete,who had been living withZero and his mom for the last three months,said any pitcher who could outsmart hisopponents was worth a lot to a team.Anyone could throw a fastball or a slow ball,he'd said.A good pitcher had to know howto mix up the pitches to keep the batters ontheir toes.  \nThat was when Zero decided he wantedto do something different on the mound.Something impressive.  \nBut so far,all he'd done was throw ballafter ball.  \nCries of“Pitch it to 'em,Zero!”and“Show 'em what you can do,Zero!”camefrom the Peach Street Mudders'fans.  \nZero squared his shoulders and turned toface the batter.He checked the runners onfirst and second,then rifled his third pitch tothe Bearcats'batter.He aimed for the mittChess held directly over and behind theplate,but the ball sailed outside by a foot.Chess had to spring out to grab it.  \n“Ball!”boomed the ump.  \n\"Come on,Zero!\"Turtleneck Jones yelledfrom first base.\"Take your time!Get it inthere!”  \n“Strike him out,Zero!Strike him out!”  \nZero'd recognize that voice anywhere.Hisuncle Pete was in

for a local radio network.But his show had been canceled,and now hewas out of work.He spent most of his timelooking for a new job.  \nZero was excited that Uncle Pete wasthere,but he was also
