Premise

A young female softball player Paula Fradkin (Robyn Barto) is obsessed with baseball.

Paula travels to Fort Lauderdale during Spring Training and tries to convince the Denver Devil's owner Sandy (Harry Hamlin) and manager Lou (Dana Elcar) to let her try-out for the team. 

Her assault major league's gender barrier is finally made possible when team owner Sandy, a male-chauvinist and bachelor, is attracted to Fradkin's personal manager Liz (Mimi Rogers).

Paula performs well in training, but the fact that the new player at second base is female leads to resentment among both players and officials. Eventually coach Dirk (Kenneth McMillan) calls on Paula to bat in a game and she responds with a base hit.
