S02E08 Batter Up

1983-11-30

Steven and Elyse become concerned when Alex, now the coach of Jennifer's softball team, seems to be pushing the girls too hard. After Jennifer struggles to jog home, Alex responds by making her do 20 extra pushups. Taking his coaching role very seriously, Alex's strict approach leads to many players quitting the team. With just two days left before the championship game, they’re short on players and need Alex to convince Skippy's awkward sister, Arlene, to join. Though Arlene prefers sewing dresses for her turtles, her desire for Jennifer's friendship prompts her to agree, resulting in some chaotic moments on the field.
