"Won in the Ninth" by Christopher Mathewson is a sports novel written in the early 20th century. The book follows the life of college students at Lowell University as they navigate their friendships, rivalries, and aspirations, particularly in baseball. The main character, Hughie Jenkins, is a talented manager and captain who focuses on building a successful baseball team during his last year at school and is determined to secure a championship title. The opening of the story sets the stage for the winter term at Lowell University, where the highly popular and accomplished Hughie Jenkins returns to campus to enthusiastic greetings from his fellow students. He reflects on his recent success as both the captain of the football team and manager of the baseball team, and quickly shifts his focus to baseball, looking to fill the gaps left by graduating players. As he encourages newcomers to join the team, we are introduced to Harold "Hal" Case, a freshman pitcher from California who is eager to prove himself. The beginnings of team dynamics, character rivalries, and the push for sports excellence are explored, weaving a rich tapestry of camaraderie and competition that ignites the passions of its young athletes.
