Plot

A young female softball player, Paula Fradkin, is obsessed with baseball and travels to Fort Lauderdale during Spring Training and tries to convince the Denver Devils' owner Sandy and manager Lou to let her try out for the team. 

Her assault on the Major Leagues' gender barrier is finally made possible when team owner Sandy, a male-chauvinist and bachelor, is attracted to Fradkin's personal manager Liz.

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 calls on Paula to bat in a game and she responds with a base hit.
