Kyle, the center fielder for the Reds, must catch the ball in the last inning if his team is to win the baseball game.  The pressure is on, the Reds and Cubs are battling for first place.  He secretly cheats with his last catch, out of sight of the stands, to clinch the game. His parents are so proud of him.  Kyle’s teammates are ecstatic with their victory. But suddenly, Kyle doesn't feel so good about his decision. What should he do, is it too late to change his mind?  (Jean Bellavance bellavance@erols.com for Pennsylvania Young Reader's Choice Awards, 2003)
