Bookroo's summary

Mike faces a baseball game without his telepathic dog, Harry, who is grounded for misbehavior. As the pressure mounts, can Mike find the confidence to succeed on his own, or will he discover a new way to win? With the stakes high and his usual support absent, Mike must navigate the challenges of the game and his own self-doubt. Will he rise to the occasion, or will the absence of his canine companion prove too much to overcome?

From the publisher

When his telepathic dog Harry is grounded for nipping another dog, Mike wonders how he’ll ever make it through the baseball game without his advice and encouragement. Sequel to “The Dog That Pitched a No-Hitter”
