Pray for Rain: A College Baseball Story

by Jason Wuerfel

When R.J "Squat" Hansen returns to the University of Michigan for his fourth and final year to play in the Maize and Blue, he finds out that his old coach has turned in an untimely resignation and his best friend, Benny, is one more collision with the outfield fence away from permanent brain damage. Now, if he could only impress his new coaches enough to score some playing time, keep Benny from killing himself, stop his all-star roommate from shooting off at the mouth, help the team's closer with his drinking problem, and influence a group of tough guys on the team to stop beating up every student who got in their way, he just might find time to enjoy his senior year. But soon the seniors find out the only thing harder than playing collegiate athletics is having to give it all up.
