Synopsis:

"I'd heard stories about the yips actually taking over a player's arm. Making it twitch like a dog with fleas. But I'd always thought they were urban legends."

After winning the pennant last year, the Rounders can't wait to host the midseason All-Star Game!

But shortstop Stump Plumwhiff's got a mean case of the yips. Balls used to disappear into Stump's glove as if he were a one-man Bermuda Triangle, but now he's jumpier than the grasshoppers infesting Rambletown Field.

Nothing can get these bugs to bug off, not even the windiest weather in Rambletown history!

The Rounders need a way to rid Stump of the yips and their home field of insects—before the hated Haymakers hijack the All-Star Game.
