Change up

Right now I am reading Change Up, by John Feinstein. It is about two 14 year old kids who are covering the World Series with their two mentors. Their names are Susan Carol and Stevie. About two years ago they both won a contest that let them report the Final four. There they uncovered that Duke was going to blackmail star player Chip Graber if he didn't purposely lose the championship game. Since then the two of them have became beta friends and have been to other major sporting events. But now they're at the world series, and are uncovering another huge report. Stevie was interviewing Nationals pitcher Norbert Doyle, who never played but was an ingesting story. When they're talking, a nationals manager Manny Acta comes over to Doyle and tells him he's starting game two of the world series! He had never started and barely played n the regular season. Stevie had uncovered another great story, and was rooting for Norbert to do great. The start didn't look promising. He hit the lead off man, then walked the second batter. Then came up Dad Ortiz. He hit a rocket to third basemen Ryan Zimmerman, who hen made a triple play, the first in world series history since the 20s. Norbert had gotten incredibly lucky. Through the seventh inning, Norbert had completely turned it around. He walked a few batters, but still hadn't allowed a hit. But in the ninth, the Red Sox got a hit, but Norbert had thrown a one hitter in the world series! He was 37 years old and had played in the minors for about 12 years, and now he was throwing near no hitters. But Stevie was curious about Norbert's wife, who had died in a car crash. He understandably didn't really talk about it, but the details of the crash seemed to change every time. Stevie is determined to find out the truth about the crash and what really happened the night Annalise Doyle died.
