Curveball at the Crossroads

After high school baseball star, JaMark Reliford, suffered a career-ending injury in his final game, his whole world fell apart. At a crossroad in rural Mississippi, JaMark thought he made the deal of a lifetime that puts him back on top of the baseball world. But every deal with the Devil comes at a price. A deal that gave him everything he thought he wanted could cost him everything he loves. Following in the footsteps of classic blues folklore and baseball fiction, Michael Lortz writes a new tale of fastballs and phantoms, strikeouts and second chances.
