When her son Sam asks to try out for a travel baseball team, divorced mom Shannon Stevens thinks itβll be a fun and active way to spend the summer. Boy, is she wrong! From the very first practice, Shannon and Sam get sucked into a mad world of rigged try-outs, professional coaches, and personal hitting instructors. But itβs the crazy, competitive parents who really make Shannonβs life miserable. Their sons are all the second coming of Babe Ruth, and Sam isnβt fit to fetch their foul balls. Even worse, Shannonβs best friend Jennifer catches the baseball fever. She schemes behind the scenes to get her son Matthew on the townβs best baseball team, the Saints. As for Sam? Sorry, thereβs no room for him! Sam winds up on the worst team in town, and every week they find new and humiliating ways to lose to the Saints.
And the action off the field is just as hot. Shannon finds herself falling for the Saintsβ coach, Kevin. But how can she date a man who didnβt think her son was good enough for his team β¦ especially when the whole baseball world is gossiping about them? Even Shannonβs ex-husband David gets pulled into the mess when a randy baseball mom goes after him. As Sam works to make friends, win games and become a better baseball player, Shannon struggles not to become one of those crazy baseball parents herself. In this world, itβs not about whether you win, lose, or how you play the gameβ¦ itβs all about KEEPING SCORE.
