[edit] Summary

Fred and Barney become coaches of opposing Little League baseball teams: Barney is coach of the Sandstone Sluggers, a team that features the incredible hitting prowess of his son, Bamm-Bamm, and Fred volunteers to coach an opposing team, the Bedrock Broncos, for his boss Mr. Slate. The Broncos' only strength is spearheaded by Fred's pre-teen daughter, Pebbles, who stuns everyone with her remarkable pitching skills and fielding ability.

Leaving their long-standing friendship in the dug-out, Fred and Barney lead their teams right into the championship. But the day of the big game holds curve balls for everyone - especially Fred and Barney!
