Bobby loves to play baseball. He can run fast, slide into bases, and catch the ball, but he can't hit the ball. Whenever he's up to bat, all the other players laugh and jeer, "Here comes the strikeout!" Discouraged, Bobby asks his friend Willy for help. Under Willy's guidance, Bobby practices hitting for days on end. During the final game of the summer, who smashes the winning hit? Bobby! Hooray!
