21 Jump Street: S4E24: "Rounding Third"

Written by Gary Rosen

Directed by Jefferson Kibbee

Airdate: May 14, 1990

Guest Star: Sam Bottoms (Robert Johnson)

Sal drafts Penhall to coach his son's struggling Little League team, which opens up a kidnapping case. In a ready for TV coincidence, Penhall recognizes one of the kids on the team is on a milk carton. Back in the '80s during the "stranger danger" it was a common practice. Penhall also struggles to find care for Clavio. 

Most of the episode consists of baseball action, so it plays like a kid friendly TV movie. At least Sal gets a few weighty scenes. He tells his kid he works at a rocket lab because he's embarrassed being a janitor, he and Fuller have a heart to heart, but what a bummer.
