Heat


Heat

Mike Lupica


Heat started with a boy named Ramon trying to steal an old ladies purse, he gets it and starts running through a base ball field. The next part no one expected Michael Arroyo a 12 year old boy throws a baseball and it smacks the robber in the head, but it was no bit of luck Michael has been pitching for years.
Michael’s team made it to the playoffs easily and was now trying for Williamsport. During the next few games they played the coaches thought that Michael was over the age limit and should not be in this league.
The coaches signed a petition saying that Michael should not play until he shows a birth certificate. The only problem with that is Michael father and mother died and the only family he has is his older brother Carlos, and Carlos can’t locate Michael’s birth certificate. Over the next couple of days Manny and Michael meet this girl named Ellie, but what they didn’t know is that Ellie is the daughter of the famous baseball star El Grande. El Grande is Michael’s favorite player. Both El Grande and Michael have something in common they are both from Cuba, so Ellie makes her dad find Michaels birth certificate, and in the last playoff game Michael got his birth certificate. He got it just in time when they were losing 5 to nothing. When Michael got there they scored a lot and won. The next team they would face would be in the finals, and Michael would be pitching in Yankee stadium.
