What happens

Walnut Grove takes on rival town Sleepy Eye in a baseball game, and the whole town catches the fever. Their best hope is pitcher Jebediah Mumfort, but his domineering wife makes his life miserable.

Caroline steps in to help Jebediah stand up for himself, and the big game is complicated by some underhanded tactics from the other side. A light, comic episode with plenty of small-town sports pride.
