"Breaking A Slump" -- Pete risks losing his dream job when he attempts to save star player Conrad Dean from a bat corking scandal, on CLUBHOUSE, Tuesday, Sept. 28 (9:00-10:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network. Fred Keller directed the episode from a script written by Daniel Cerone, one of the show's executive producers.

Columnist Steve Rushin (Sports Illustrated) makes a cameo appearance as a sports writer, and sports columnist and television personality Tony Kornheiser (Washington Post, "Pardon The Interruption") appears as a local television sports reporter.

When Dean finally hits one out of the ballpark after a lengthy hitting slump, accusations fly and an investigation ensues over the possibility of a corked bat. In an attempt to protect his idol, Pete takes matters into his own hands and steals the confiscated bat. Meanwhile, Betsy gets suspended from school for playing an outlandish prank and, as punishment, is forced to help her mother at work.
