Cary Carter's Iron Mask Grand Slam

Team of Destiny or Trouble?

Catcher Robbie Belmont begins his second baseball season at Riverton High School in high hopes. The team has a good chance of going all the way to the state championship. But there are problems on the horizon. Robbie still wants to pitch and does so in secret, despite Coach Franklin’s warning to stop. And the tall sophomore pitcher for whom Robbie catches, Wire, starts to act very strangely on and off the field. Wire’s grades slip, and he has been seen with some shady characters. Then, Robbie injures his arm while practicing his pitching. It happens right before the biggest gane of the year. Will Robbie be able to play—will Coach Franklin let him play—just when his team needs him the most.
