When the human baseball game is over, two teams of mice take over the ballpark to play their own championship ball game.

Grade 1-3 The Mighty Mites are mice who live at the ballX park and clean up after every game, but they're also a hotshot baseball team which practices hard after cleanup. When they're challenged by the rival Boomers to the Big Game, their work pays off, and they take the lead. The Boomers, however, call in Big Jax, and the rogue rodent proceeds to blast the Boomers ahead 25 to 14. The Mites make a comeback with true teamwork when 12 of them together heft the "big bat" and make their way around the bases. These pen-and-ink mice, washed with orange and blue, are a comically lively crew, and the baseball action will appeal to young sportsters. Details such as a peanut vendor wielding a peanut shell almost as big as he is amusingly fill out an easy-to-follow, well-told and well-constructed story.

It doesn't look good for the visiting baseball team, the Mighty Mites, when the home team, the Boomers, brings in their ace-in-the-hole pinch hitter, Big Jax. He's a real rat. And since both teams are comprised of mice, Big Jax has a size and power advantage. He uses it to boost the Boomer's score to an 11-point lead. It's the first annual crosstown Big Game between the two teams, and it promisesand deliversreading excitement and fun for children first learning to read. The Mighty Mites manage to pull off the win in an ingenious manner, after the game's only bat is broken. The action is fast-paced, and Oechsli's three-color illustrations are as dizzy as his entertaining story.
