Due largely to the reputation of their dominating record, the Queens have always stood proudly in their blue and white jerseys, and it proves to be no different on the field today. Alexis immediately notices their challenging stares and their chin-held-high postures as she steps up to the plate and positions her bat. But what she quickly finds as she does so is that most interesting gaze of all among the sea of blue and white is that of the opposing team's pitcher, Silver Rogers. Alexis has never before seen her in person, but with her sharp blue eyes and signature platinum blonde braid, she can be mistaken for no one else. Silver is known as well as—if not better than—her team, and so even as a freshman Alexis has heard countless stories about the notoriously fierce baseball prodigy.
