Roxy leaned toward Terrell. "I'll be right back," she said.
Terrell's eyes went wide. "You can't get up while the Miners are pitching, Roxy! It's bad luck."
Roxy rolled her eyes. "It's about Dale Rivers and Manny Gomez. They've disappeared. That's why they're not here today. I need to find them."
"Oh no!" Terrell said. "Good luck."
After Roxy left, a dark shadow covered the stadium. The crowd looked up and cheered.
"Whoa," Jack said. "That's cool!"

Roxy arrived at Police Headquarters. Detective Smith was watching a small monitor.
"You have work to do, Detective." Roxy shook her head. "I can't believe you're watching Cooltube videos!"
Detective Smith rolled his eyes. "I'm not watching Cooltube videos, Rocket Girl. I'm watching a security video from Metro City Stadium's parking lot. Take a look."
Roxy leaned in to watch the video. She saw Dale Rivers and Manny Gomez talking. A dark shadow spread across the parking lot. The two baseball players looked up. They seemed scared. Then they quickly floated up and off the screen.
"Where did they go?" Roxy asked. "Did someone—or something—take them?"
Detective Smith shook his head. "I don't know."
The detective's phone beeped. "Hello?" His face grew pale. "What? Oh no, that's terrible!"
"Uh-oh," Roxy thought.
Her watch beeped. She opened it and saw Terrell.
"What's going on?" Roxy asked.
"Roxy—I mean Rocket Girl," Terrell said. "You need to come back to the stadium! There's a giant baseball floating over it. At first I thought it was just a balloon. But now it's sucking up all the Miners!"
"I'll be right there!" Roxy closed her watch and flew off.
Detective Smith put down his phone. "There's a problem at the stadium, Rocket Girl. We have to . . . Rocket Girl?"

Roxy gulped. An enormous baseball was floating over the stadium.
On the field below, she saw a man. He wore a Miners uniform and held a megaphone in one hand. In the other hand, he held a large bat. It was silver and shiny. Sparks shot from it.
"That's Fitz Hitz," Roxy said. "Why is he on the field? He was kicked off the Miners."
"Hello to all my fans!" Fitz grinned. "The rest of the team is, uh, tied up right now. But luckily you have me. And I have my new invention: the Blast Bat. I will happily play the Lumbertown Loggers—all by myself!"
