Back to a place called Myrtle's Acre.

You know, Ham hits a home run into a backyard and they stop Smalls from retrieving the ball because they tell him about the beast, a large and fearsome English Mastic, who is depicted as being a naturally large and monstrous dog.
Andy AthertonHOST
He lives out behind the fence of Mr. Myrtle.
Andy AthertonHOST
Over the years, many baseballs have gone over that fence, and the Beast claims each of them.
Andy AthertonHOST
So instead of playing baseball on a hot day, they go swimming at the pool, and they end up getting kicked out because Squirts, who has a big-time crush on Wendy Peppercorn, played by Marlee Shelton, who's considerably older.

But then there's a standoff between Benny and the Beast, and Benny takes off, slides and grabs the ball and runs away.
Andy AthertonHOST
But then the Beast, revealed to be a normal-sized dog, chases Benny through the town.
Andy AthertonHOST
He outruns the dog all the way back to Mr. Myrtle's backyard, but the Beast crashes through the fence, which falls down on top of him.
Andy AthertonHOST
Smalls and Benny free the beast and gratefully licks Smalls' face and leads him to his stash of baseballs.
