Diamond Dirt

Drop, rise, curve, screw, fast; Shelby has pitched them all in her quest to achieve her dream of playing softball in Oklahoma City. After three years of postseason dreams being dashed, she and her team have a chance to make it all the way. With laser focus, she has led the Lady Hawks from the circle. There’s just one thing between her and the red dirt of ASA Hall of Fame Stadium, her entry level British History class.

Kings, queens, leaders, extraordinary, common; Winston knows British history inside and out. What he doesn’t know is the university has one of the top softball teams in the nation chasing their first national title. Weeks before graduation, he’s faced with tutoring the Lady Hawks’ ace in the pitching circle. He’s challenged to find time in both of their busy schedules to help her learn the royalty as well as she knows the seams on a softball.

When questioned, she shows him her passion for the game which leads him to bring the royals into her comfort zone between the chalk lines. Will it be enough to help her pass the class? Or will her dream be another casualty of the royalty?
