Synopsis

While visiting Pikesville, New York, the Boxcar Children join the exciting last games of the season in a strange old ballpark behind an abandoned factory. The Pikesville Half Moons are playing the Eagles, but the Eagles seem to be hitting far too many home runs. Could they be cheating? Then Violet sees strange lights in the old factory at night. Could the lights―and the losing streak―have anything to do with the sad Pikesville legend of Home Run Herman? The Boxcar Children find out there's more to be lost in Pikesville than a baseball game.

About the Author

Gertrude Chandler Warner grew up in Putnam, Connecticut. She wrote The Boxcar Children because she had always dreamed about what it would be like to live in a caboose or a freight car―just as the Aldens do. When readers asked for more adventures, Warner wrote more books―a total of nineteen in all. After her death, other authors have continued to write stories about Henry, Jessie, Violet, and Benny Alden, and today The Boxcar Children® series has more than one hundred books.

Could they be cheating? Then Violet sees strange lights in the factory. Could the lights -- and the home run streak -- have anything to do with the sad Pikesville legend of Home Run Herman? Looks like there's a double-header mystery to solve!
