Nancy nodded. Friday was the big game against the Raccoons. “That’s only two days away,” she pointed out.

“I know,” George said gloomily.

The pitcher threw the next pitch. Nancy and George held their breaths.

Bess swung—and missed. “Strike three!” the umpire declared.

Bess walked back to the dugout with a long face. Coach Gloria patted her on the shoulder. “Don’t worry about it, Bess,” she reassured her.

“Thanks, Coach Gloria,” Bess said. She sounded really bummed out.

Bess plopped down next to Nancy and George. “I should probably just quit the team,” she grumbled. “I’m totally useless!”

Nancy shook her head. “No way! First of all, you’re an awesome catcher, and I need you. The team needs you. Second of all, you’re just having a bad hitting streak.”

“Bad? It’s more like the worst hitting streak ever in baseball history,” Bess corrected her.

George gave Bess a hug. “Don’t worry, we’ll find Magic Bill soon,” she promised.

“At least she’s getting lots of hits,” Bess said, nodding in the direction of home plate.

Nancy glanced up. Charlotte Karol was up at bat. Bess was right. Charlotte had already gotten two hits today.

Then Nancy’s eyes fell on something in the corner of the dugout. It was a big, dark green duffel bag with the initials CK on it in light green.

CK must stand for Charlotte Karol, Nancy thought.

Nancy could see the outline of something long and skinny bulging against the side of the bag.

It looked like . . . a bat.

Could it be Magic Bill? Nancy wondered.
