Meeting a Unified Sports basketball player challenges his view of perfection. Can this new perspective help Isaac find his true game? Discover themes of friendship, kindness, and ability in this inspiring sports tale.

From the publisher

Isaac is determined to pitch a perfect game: no hits, no runs, no walks, and no errors. He can’t settle for less if he wants to make the summer all-star team. But when he allows a hit, Isaac keeps losing his cool on the mound and can’t get his head back in the game. Then Issac meets a very interesting Unified Sports basketball player who gets him thinking in a different way about the whole idea of a “perfect” game. But will this change in perspective help him be a better pitcher? Themes of kindness, friendship, perfection, and ability star in this inspiring installment of Fred Bowen’s Sports Story Series. The afterword provides interesting facts about the Special Olympics.
