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. Lucy doit surmonter sa peur d’être frappée par une balle. Encouragée par Al, Lucy va au bâton. Lucy joue un rôle important dans la victoire de son équipe et comprend à quel point il est amusant de jouer au baseball avec les membres de sa famille et ses amis.
