Lucy joue à se lancer la balle avec sa famille au parc lorsqu’elle est invitée à se joindre à l’équipe de baseball de ses amis. Al, leur sympathique entraîneur, leur enseigne les rudiments du jeu offensif et du jeu défensif. Ensemble, ils s’exercent à attraper la balle, à la frapper avec un bâton et à jouer au champ, puis ils participent à une vraie partie.
Lorsqu'un nouvel entraîneur arrive, l'équipe des Loups gris à Gaston hérite aussi de son fils, Eldridge Elwell, mais celui-ci est un très mauvais joueur. L'équipe souhaite plus que tout arriver jusqu'aux séries éliminatoires, mais si Eldridge continue à jouer plus qu'aucun autre joueur, il y a peu d'espoir. Que peut faire Johnny Maverick pour sortir son équipe de cette mauvaise passe? When the Timberwolves get a new coach, they also get the coach's son. The only problem is that Eldridge Elwell is a terrible hockey player. The team is on the hunt to make the playoffs, and every time Eldridge plays a shift, it hurts the team more. Johnny Maverick is just as angry about it as anyone on the team, until he learns something important about the coach's son.
