Synopsis: A group of boys learn the Skeeter Hill Recreation Department plans to expand Junior League instead of Little League. Consequently the sandlot players realize they will not have an opportunity to play together on a team next season. Led by Willie Wince the boys embark on a journey inspired by their desire to play Little League baseball together. The boys hatch a plan to fight City Hall and change their minds. The execution of the imaginative plan causes outrage in the town of Skeeter Hill. The ingenious plan causes a big stir leading up to the fall town hall meeting encouraging a charismatic coach to surface and volunteer to coach Willie and his friends. Since the Junior League is not expanded, Garvin and his buddies must play another year on a Little League team. They suspect Willie and his friends for the turn of events and harbor ill will toward them. The two teams play the season on a collision course. One team plays underhanded and dirty to win. The other team resorts to pranks and trickery to claim victory. Which team will win the season championship during the Fourth of July weekend?
