the zombie steals home
"Twins Stacy and Gina Cavallaro are rivals on the baseball field, each pitching for a different little league team. Gina is a sports whiz and the star of her crack team, while Stacy's band of misfits hasn't won a game all season. The battling sisters also happen to be the youngest in a long line of local witches. So when Gina's magic spins out of control and her spell accidentally raises a zombie, the girls have to set aside their differences and figure out how to make everything that is going wrong go right. And Stacy's team of misfits--Billy, Sanchez, Levi, Beans, Paddy, Killroy, Gomez, and Boots--must band together to save the day!"--From the publisher's web site.
