"Jayden is only one stolen base away from the school record, when he is suddenly kicked off the team, accused of cheating on a math test, and the "proof" is found in his locker; apparently someone is trying to prevent him from setting the record by framing him, and he enlists the help of Lindsey, the school reporter, to gather clues and figure out which of his teammates has it in for him--and do it before the final game."--Provided by publisher.
