Bookroo's summary

Annabella Donatello loves softball and performing, but when her big game and the school play's opening night clash, she's in a bind. With her coach demanding full commitment to the team, Annabella devises a daring plan to balance both passions. Will her skills on the field and stage be enough to pull it off, or will she have to choose between her dreams? Dive into this lively tale of sportsmanship and creativity, where every pitch and performance counts.

From the publisher

ThePerfect Pitch is the second book in the funny, heavily illustrated Good Sports League chapter book series about sports and sportsmanship by Tommy Greenwald, the acclaimed author of Game Changer, and artist Lesley Vamos. Annabella Donatello likes to do everything. She likes to draw, fly kites, play soccer, cook, and eat what she cooks. She even likes to do math! But there are two things she loves most of all: softball and performing. So she’s thrilled when she gets cast in the school play, on top of being the star pitcher of her softball team. Unfortunately, her softball coach is less thrilled about Annabella’s busy schedule. And with the championships coming up, the pressure is on to make softball her number-one priority, even when an important practice conflicts with opening night of the show. To be in two places at once, Annabella hatches a plan that will put all of her softball and acting skills to the test.
