Summary "Rival Pitchers of Oakdale" by Morgan Scott is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around youthful exuberance and the dynamics of competitive baseball within a school setting. The primary characters include Roger Eliot, the capable team captain, and two aspiring pitchers, Rodney Grant, a natural athlete, and Roy Hooker, who harbors ambitions but struggles with self-doubt. At the start of the novel, a group of boys gathers outside Oakdale Academy excitedly discussing the upcoming baseball season. Roger Eliot encourages everyone to practice for an important game against Barville, while Roy Hooker expresses frustration over not being given a chance to pitch. As the boys banter, Grant, a newcomer with a mysterious backstory, emerges as a promising candidate for pitching, igniting jealousy in Hooker. Shifting between camaraderie and rivalry, the opening chapters set the stage for a competitive and emotionally charged season ahead, hinting at themes of friendship, ambition, and the quest for recognition in the context of youthful sportsmanship.
