The Springfield Nuclear Power Plant softball team represents Mr. Burns' nuclear plant in the city softball league. In 1991, the team had an abysmal record and many of the players decided to quit. However, the next year, Homer convinces Lenny, Carl and Charlie that he has a secret weapon, and they all return. In their opening game against the Springfield Police Department, the Power Plant was down 5-2 in the ninth with bases loaded. Homer went up to bat and revealed his secret weapon - his Wonder Bat - to his team mates. They ridicule him, but Homer manages to hit a home run, and wins the game. The team goes on a hot streak, picking up wins against East Springfield, Fort Springfield (by a score of at least 33-7) and Springfield Heights, thanks largely to Homer and his bat.
They make the championship game against Shelbyville. However, Mr. Burns makes a million dollar bet on the outcome of the game, and decides to ensure victory by bringing in nine Major League players. Homer is replaced on the starting lineup by Darryl Strawberry, and it looks like the team will win without him. However, the Major League players fall victim to nine separate misfortunes, and Burns is forced to use his old players. In the final inning with bases loaded, Homer gets hit by a pitch, which counts as a hit, and wins the game and the 1992 city championship.
