- 2,121, 2,122,

2,123, 2,124,

2,125, 2,126,

2,127, 2,128,

2,129, 2,130,

2,131, done.

- Oh, sorry honey, I overslept.

Big day today.

- Mom, I can't eat.

My stomach hurts.

- You're just nervous about your tryouts.

You'll do great.

You just have to go out and have fun, okay?

(Pop knocks) - Yeah!

- [Jordy] It's Pop!

- Hey.

- Who's ready for tryouts? - You hungry?

(Pop grunting) - Ow, Pop, you're crushing me.

Good morning, honey.

You got a bagel for me?

You know, I couldn't sleep last night.

- Me neither.

- I put 1,000 bucks on you making the team,

so don't blow it.

- Seriously? - Dad!

Don't listen to him.

- All right, all right, all right.

I didn't put 1,000 bucks down, I put 2,000.

- No. - Yeah.

(Pop laughs)

Hey, nice uniform.

- I slept in this for good luck.

I also did 2,131 tosses,

for Cal Ripken's consecutive game streak.

- Yeah, you ball players,

you all have these little routines, you know?

Remember Moises Alou?

- Oh gosh.

- He used to pee on his hands to make his hands tougher

so he could grip the bat better.

- Pee?

- Yep, let's move on.

I have a little gift for you.

Bring you a little extra luck today.

Here you go, Dad. - Thank you.

- I'm gonna go get it.

- Yeah.

Listen kid, we're all rooting for ya,

playing Little League for the first time, finally.

- Okay.

This is for you, from your dad, right before he died.

He wanted you to have it today.

- [Jordy] Oh, nice!

- He didn't have a chance to break it in, so -

- All right, all right, all right, quit staring at it.

Time's a wasting, you know, we got things to do.

Into the garage.

- What's in the garage? - You'll see.

(garage door whirring)

I got another number for you, for your routine.

Number 5, Brooks Robinson, my favorite guy.

- Yeah, I remember.

Maybe I can do like a little toe tapping routine,

like five times on the mound.

- Ha, I thought you'd say that.

(Pop chuckles)

- Okay, I got the shaving cream.

Here we go, all right.

- Give it. (shaving cream hissing)

- What are you doing, Mom? - Woo, boink!

- This just adds cohesion,

and eliminates the rigidity of the glove, you know?

The leather needs strength, but flexibility.

It has to stretch, you know,

it has to fit like mold on your hand.

Now comes the fun part.

- Wait, what are you doing?

- [Pop] We got 10 minutes to break this thing in,

get in the car.

(Pop chuckles)

(pleasant music)

(engine revving)

(Nora laughs)

Dum, ba-dum, ba-dum, ba-dum, ba-dum, ba-dum.

- [Jordy] You're flattening my glove like a pancake.

- Ba-dum, dum. (Nora laughs)

(players chattering)

(balls thudding)

- [Jordy] One, two, three, four, five.

(Jordy sighs)

- Nora, hi. - Hi.

- It's really good to see Jordy try out.

- Yeah, he may have over-prepared.

- Think his rituals have become a little elaborate?

- It may be a tad excessive.

- I mean, if it manages his anxiety, I'm okay with it.

- Yeah, I just didn't want him

to become a prisoner of his own superstitions.

- Oh, kids do funny things when it's their first tryout.

It's just nerves.

- Yeah, his big brother used to love routines.

- If he plays like Rob, we'll have our next phenom.

Hey, I'd love to see Rob.

Is he coming today?

- I mean, you'd think he'd wanna show up, but, um...

- I've seen a lot of fathers coach sons.

It's always complicated.

It's good seeing you. - Yeah, you too.

- [ COACH ON PA ] Okay, rotation of pitcher.

Jordy, get in there.

Just fielding drills for now.

Bobby, third base.

Tommy, short.

(people chattering) (people clapping)

All right, let's go to one, everybody.

(bat cracks)

(people clapping)

(bat cracks)

(people clapping) (people cheering)

- One, two,

three, four, five.

(Jordy sighs)

One, two -

- Get on the fricking mound and play already!

Enough of this nonsense!

(Pop clears throat angrily)

- You got a problem, Grandpa?

(Pop hums impatiently)

- [Nora] No.

- [Nora] Dad!

(Pop clears throat)

(bat whooshes) (players shouting)

(bat thuds)

(crowd gasping) - Oh my god.

(Jordy sobbing)

- [Jordy] No!

- First aid, get the first aid kit!

Slipped right out of my hands.

- Oh no. - Okay, okay!

I got you, I got you.

It's okay, okay. - I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

- It's okay. - I can't feel anything.

- I know.

Could somebody get some ice, please?

Pop's getting the car.

We're going to the ER.

Okay, so just stay still.

You're in shock, honey.

There you go, okay. (heartbeat thudding)

(bus rumbling) (birds chirping)

(dog barking)

(emotional music)

(dog barking)

- [Pop] You know, by the time we get that working,

the game's gonna be over.

- [Nora] Okay, Dad, gimme a break.

- Well, you should've listened to me, to go with cable.

You can't depend on this streaming stuff.

You never know when it's gonna poop out on ya.

Hey, Jordy.

(crowd cheering) - You figured it out, Jordy.

- Hey! - Jordy, you're a genius.

- [Announcer] We go to baseball analyst, Tim Kurkjian.

- I think it's time to get those rally caps on.

- Woo-hoo! (Nora claps)

- [Pop] Rally cap time.

- [Nora] All right, fold it.

- Come on, Jordy.

- Os need your good luck, come here.

Here you go.

- Come on, let's watch. - Come on!

Come on.

- I gotta be honest, I don't like the way

you're reacting to all this stuff.

And you're not doing yourself a favor

by wearing that on your face.

- It's just 'til he heals.

- That's for playing, not for all the time.

- Pop, I'm not playing!

I retired.

- Now listen to me, nobody likes a quitter.

(backpack thuds)

- Oh, Dad.

(emotional music) (birds chirping)

- Ow, that hurt. (person laughing)

Ow, that hurt. (person laughing)

(Jordy panting)

(trophies clattering)

(fists thudding)

(Jordy panting)

(Jordy screaming)

(Jordy sobbing)

(door clicks) (door creaks)

- Hey.

You know that Pop loves the heck outta you.

- I'm not a quitter.

- No, you're just injured.

Maybe this will help with recovery.

- It's just a folded cap, Mom.

- Hey, how many games did the O's win

because we wore these hats?

I thought you were Mr. Superstitious.

- The O's winning or losing has nothing to do

with us making a magic wish.

Wearing a stupid hat or doing rituals doesn't mean anything.

There's no point.

(somber music)

- It's because it gives us a sense of control.

Especially if we're we're hurting, and we're losing.

Every little thing helps.

Here.

(door creaks)

(crickets chirping) (thunder booming)

(gentle music)

(insects buzzing)

(crowd cheering)

(crowd continues cheering)

(footsteps tapping)

(thunder booming)

(crickets chirping)

(thunder rumbling)

(computer beeping) - Whoa, okay.

- [Nora] Dad, this isn't gonna work.

- You're right, this webcam stuff is confusing.

I mean, I can't see myself.

And where the hell is the camera?

- Dad, I mean, me being on this call,

he's just gonna hang up.

- Oh, come on, look- - Hey, Pop.

- Oh hi, can you hear me now?

I can see you, I can't see myself.

- As long as you can see me, it's fine.

- [Pop] Okay.

- Hi. - Really, Pop?

Is this just a ploy to get us to talk?

- How's everything?

- I'm alive.

- Did you get my text about Jordy's injury?

- Jordy broke his nose, yeah.

- Well, he's had a lot of anxiety since then.

I mean, he's cocooned himself for weeks.

He just won't do anything.

He won't play baseball.

When you leave for camp in a couple months,

maybe you can take him up with you when you go.

- I'm not babysitting.

I'm not his father.

- How about his big brother?

- This is for Jordy.

It's gonna mean a lot to him.

He wants to see you.

- Come on, Rob.

Can we just push past this for a minute?

- Just have him outside, alone, when I come.

(computer chimes) (Nora sighs)

- He won't let it go.

(emotional music)

All right, this is gonna be great.

You're gonna have so much fun.

They won't know about your injury, or who you are,

and they have a great baseball program.

- I'm not playing baseball.

- Okay, you don't have to play baseball.

I just want you to have a good summer, okay?

- Come here, come here, give me a hug.

- [Jordy] Pop, you're crushing me again.

- I know. - Don't crush him.

- Listen to me, kid.

When I was coaching, I had a player

that got hit by a line drive, right in the knee.

She felt so bad, she cried her eyes out.

She wasn't seriously injured,

so I told her to get her butt back in the game.

She got angry with me.

Suddenly, she wipes her tears from her eyes,

and the dirt from her cheeks, and she gets up,

and the next inning, she leads off with a home run.

- It was you, Mom? - Mm-hmm.

- Giving up is not in your blood, kid.

You got me?

(engine rumbling)

(horn honks) - Oh gosh, you gotta go.

Bye, have fun. - Okay, okay.

- [Nora] And be safe!

Love you, buddy, bye!

- Hey, buddy.

- Hey.

- That nose is looking better.

- How would you know?

It's not like you were here to see it when it got blasted.

- Come on, Nori, go out there.

- You're gonna love camp.

Too bad your first time's gonna be with me,

and not with Dad.

He always had a way of making it an experience.

- It doesn't matter.

I'm not gonna be doing anything, anyways.

Just gonna be sitting in a cabin, minding my own business.

I don't play sports anymore.

- Not even baseball?

- Especially not baseball.

- Well, I was busy with work,

and school, and stuff.

Why haven't you come to see us?

- What's with the mask?

Thought you were healed already.

- Hey, what is that thing?

Something happen to you?

- I was trying out for Little League,

and a bat hit me in the face.

- Were you the kid on that video?

- You saw it?

- It was you!

Oh my gosh, I thought you were dead.

- Hey, Rob.

Heading to first practice.

- Yeah, starting early this year, huh?

- Dad, please tell me this shrimp is not on our team.

- This is Coach Rob's brother.

He's in Bunk 5.

- Thank goodness.

- Hey, knock it off.

Say you're sorry.

I wanna talk to you.

- You're sorry.

- So I heard your first year of college ball

was pretty rough.

- Yeah, kinda had a lot on my mind.

- Yeah, it's not high school anymore.

It's big boy ball.

All right, I'll see you out on the field.

Hey Frankie, let's go.

(Jordy sighs)

- You Jordy?

I'm Ruth.

Must be a player, if you're Rob's brother.

Looking forward to seeing you

at the camp baseball championship game.

- I'll be happy to watch the game.

Definitely won't be playing.

- Get signed in with Jerry.

I'll get your trunk over to your cabin.

Shoulders back, and make sure to tuck that shirt in.

Hey Rob, I'm so sorry about your father.

- Thanks.

(Ruth sighs) - It was just so sudden.

- Yeah, I was studying for midterms

when I heard about the accident.

- Jerry said you're taking over for your dad

coaching Bunk 5.

You okay with that?

- I've never coached before,

but I think he'd want me to try.

Meet your Head Counselor.

Hiya Jordy, I'm Jerry.

You can schedule all of your normal camp activities,

but we've got you assigned

in one of the two baseball bunks, okay?

So you've gotta balance out your schedule

so you can fit in your practices,

and of course, the end of camp championship game,

which will take place on the beautiful baseball field.

Bunk 6, GreyWolves.

Coach Casey's got those guys sponsored by his law firm.

They have for years.

All spiffied up in their beautiful uniforms.

And Bunk 5, Rob, what were they last year?

The Beavers?

- We can do something else this year.

- No Beavers, no Aardvarks.

The championship game, special field.

Fences, scoreboards, live camel parade, PA announcer.

It's gonna be nuts.

Ruth had the field built when this was just a baseball camp.

- Too bad I can't play anymore.

- Well, you mean you won't play.

- Well, you don't have to play.

All right, there's plenty of opportunities for fun here,

but I have already assigned you

to one of the two baseball bunks.

So, are you okay hanging out with the other players?

- Yeah, it'll give me a chance to see Rob,

and plus, 5 is Brooks Robinson's number,

my pop's favorite player.

- Ah, a good omen, I like it.

Ladies and gentlemen, we got a new guy in Bunk 5.

Watch out for Jordo.

He's a baseball historian, ah!

(gentle music)

(chimes tinkling)

(door creaking)

- [Jordy] Hi.

Hello!

Gosh, is everyone at this camp a freaking jerk?

(Jordy grunting)

(trunk thuds)

- Orioles fan, huh?

That bird logo is pretty cool,

but too bad they stink like bird turd.

- So what?

The Cardinals -

- One second, I can't hear you.

- What are you doing?

- I was born deaf.

I have a hearing aid,

and I just got my cochlear implant eight months ago.

I had to get a surgery.

I'm Lucas.

- I'm Jordy.

I just had surgery on my nose.

- You did?

I can barely see any stitch marks.

What happened?

- Well, a flying bat hit my face.

- Were you like walking in a cave, or something?

- No, a baseball bat.

- Oh wow. - Yeah.

- That's like a one in a million chance.

- I was pitching, and I sorta wasn't paying attention.

- We need a pitcher this year.

Our pitcher from last year isn't coming.

Freddie Pittsnogle

- I'm not playing.

- Then why are you in this cabin?

This is a baseball cabin.

- Ooh, sis boom bah! - Sis boom bah!

Guys, this is Jordy.

- Skip, first base.

This is Scoops, Ted Say a Prayer, and Richard.

- [Lucas] Where's everyone else?

- Don't know. - Mm.

(bell rings)

- Dinner time! - Geez.

- [Scoops] Geez, I hope he saves some food for us.

- Okay, then.

- What's a sis boom bah?

- It's our camp chant, our cheer?

- Kinda like go team, good luck, hurrah?

- You're a nerd.

(door creaking)

(upbeat music)

(campers chattering)

(upbeat music continues)

- Okay, what is going on there?

- [Scoops] Spaghetti and meatballs on two plates?

- I just like the things separated, you know?

- He's a pitcher.

They all have their weird habits.

- Dude, that's brilliant.

I think that's been my problem.

I mix all my foods together,

which makes a big mosh of different flavors

that cancel each other out.

I haven't enjoyed food as much as I should in my life.

- I think you enjoy food a little too much, Skip.

(campers laughing)

- Hey, being chubby has its benefits.

- Like what, exactly?

- Like, if we were stranded on an island,

I would survive the longest without eating.

- Wouldn't it be down to the person

who has the best hunting skills?

- Nah, it's about your fishing game.

- Yeah. - Yeah.

- [Campers] Fish, fish, fish, fish, fish, fish, fish,

fish, fish, fish, fish!

- Eye black salute!

Uncomfortable eye contact.

Hey kiddos, as you can see,

we're a little low in Cabin 5.

- So we're gonna invite Camp Kennebec over

to play the GreyWolves in Bunk 6 this year.

- But, we have 14 players at Belgrade, not just 9,

so we can't just have one team.

- Let him play in the scrimmage.

- No, we wanna play in the championship game.

- Lucas, wanna come play for us?

- Hey Frankie, we already have a catcher.

- Yeah, me.

- Lucas is the best catcher in the whole camp.

Chase can play first.

- No man, I'm the catcher.

- Hey guys, let me decide who plays where, okay?

- Don't worry, I'd never, ever join the GreyWolves.

- Rob, can you find three more players by Friday?

- Four, Cabin 5 needs four.

- Come on Jordy, please play with us.

It'll be fine.

Come on!

(emotional music)

- Okay, fine.

But I'm not playing pitcher.

- All right!

I'm loving the vibe here.

Cabin 5, in it together no matter what!

Find those three players.

- Why is the gravy on the side?

- Because I like it that way.

No!

(campers chattering)

(Jordy grunts) (campers shouting)

- Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey! (campers clamoring)

- Enough, enough!

Go back to your tables!

(campers chattering)

- Well, Jordy can definitely throw.

(upbeat jazz music)

- Do we all have to do the swim test?

- Yeah, you can practice in the shallow end if you want.

- You scared to do the swim test?

You have to at least try.

- Jordy, this is our leader for our swim group,

also my sis.

- Nice to meet you, Jordy, I'm Niki.

You really have to pass in order to help us get trophies.

All you have to do is go to the buoy and back, that's it.

- I'm scared of what kind of things live in the water.

- Maybe some trout, or a copperhead or two,

but also Belle O'Grady.

- The thing. - What?

- An ugly, brown, slimy monster

that lives under the water and eats kids.

(ominous music)

If you're lucky, she'll just take your bathing suit,

or eat your sandals.

But she's always there, under the surface,

staring up at your feet.

(horror music)

Despite that, the water's completely safe.

- I think I'm just gonna watch.

- Come on, dude.

You know what?

She'll play for our baseball team.

We need players.

She's the best softball player on the girls' side.

And you'll do the swim test.

- Wait- - Actually that works.

- Yeah.

(Lucas laughs)

(crickets chirping)

- Lucas likes eating green beans while drinking orange soda.

- Lucas sees stranger things while drinking orange soda.

- Eats green beans.

- Who eats green beans while drinking orange soda?

- Good point.

But hey, you got it, you're getting better.

- Yeah, but it's taking longer than I thought it would.

- You have to be patient.

I remember how hard it was for you after the surgery.

- I heard Niki's playing baseball?

- Yeah, and we need some extra players.

Can you two play?

- Those boys are scrubs.

- Cabin 5 always gets their butts whooped

in the championships.

- We're better off playing softball.

- Come on guys, Lucas missed Little League this year

because of his surgery.

Could you guys please play?

Do it for me?

- Sure. - Sure.

(upbeat music)

- [PA Announcer] All right, Camp Belgraders,

after breakfast, please report

to your team sports activity.

Soccer camps will be on field six,

girls and boys basketball on their respective courts.

Baseball division,

Cabin 5 will have the baseball field at 10 a.m..

Cabin 6, the GreyWolves, will be at the batting cages.

- Jerry, I can't do this.

- I told ya, I can't coach the team.

That's a conflict of interest.

I will help you as much as I can.

You're detail oriented, you're a student of the game.

They can't be told what to do.

They need to be inspired to do it.

- [Rob] That's great.

Can you give me something specific?

- Okay, you're a visual learner.

I have an idea.

Hang tight.

- We're ready, Coach.

(Rob sighs)

- These our new players? - That an issue for you?

- Not if you can play.

- Are you really our coach?

You look more like a bat boy.

- Yahhhhh Whoooo, hurrah!

Woo!

- What's going on? - Woo-hoo.

- Single file line, home plate.

Five, four, three, two, very nice.

First rule at Camp Belgrade, gotta have a nickname.

My nickname, Coach Ballgame,

because I'm all about having fun on the ball field.

Woo!

(campers laughing) (Jerry grunting)

Single file line, home plate, here we go!

You'll say your nickname,

and then you'll head to first base.

- My friends call me Scoops,

because I never eat just one scoop of ice cream, always two.

- Ice cream salute. (drumming)

Jordy, got a nickname?

- Nose, 'cause I broke my nose?

- How about we call you Nose,

'cause Nose knows everything about baseball.

- How did Jordy break his nose?

- He said a flying bat hit him.

No, baseball bat.

- Oh! - Nickname?

- Skip, because at recess, they always pick me last,

and the captains always say "skip,"

as in to skip to the next player.

I changed my name to Skip, so now when they say skip,

I run over like they called me.

- Bounce back, salute. (drumming)

- My dad calls me Say a Prayer,

because I said a prayer

before the Cubs World Series game seven, and they won!

- Go Cubbies! (drumming)

- My dad calls me Mouth, because I never shut up.

(drumming)

- Lisa.

I'll play wherever, I know how gross boys are,

so if one of you farts,

I'm pegging you with the ball, got it?

- PU salute. (drumming)

Nickname?

- Ears, because I wear a cochlear implant,

and hearing aid.

Kids at school used to make fun of me for that,

but now I use it as motivation

when I'm on the baseball field.

- Double bicep salute. (drumming)

- You know what, I don't need a nickname.

- Because you've already got Nick in your name.

That was a joke, kids.

(Jerry laughs)

- Sorry I'm late.

I was just finishing the last chapter of "Moby Dick."

- Ooh, scholar salute, nickname.

- Well, I don't really like

the obvious choice of a nickname for Richard.

- Good call, let's just go with Moby.

(drumming)

(campers laughing) (campers chattering)

- Moby! - Yeah, Moby!

(campers chattering)

(gentle music) (crickets chirping)

- Built in headphones.

I'm a tech beast.

- Wow, genius.

- Hi, we saw you on the camp website today.

We're so happy for you, honey.

- [Pop] Yeah, you're gonna be a pitcher again, huh?

- Yeah.

- Way to go to get back up on that mound, kid.

- Can't wait.

- Cell phone time is over.

- Yep. - Hand 'em in.

Give it over, Skip. - Come on, Coach.

Let me keep my phone.

- You should've thought of that

before you ordered a bunch of food on Amazon.

Richard, you better have been talking to your parents.

- Oh, is that Rob? - Talk to Mom and Pop.

- [Jerry] Gather round, boys.

- Hey, it's almost curfew.

I gotta get these kids to bed.

- There's a scrimmage in a few days.

Will you keep us updated?

- Yeah, I'll try.

You know, I kind of see why Dad was always stressed.

Coaching ain't easy.

I gotta go.

- Okay.

- Maybe after camp, we can go to an O's game.

- Yeah, I'll think about it, we'll see.

Get some sleep, all right?

- Look at that mullet.

- [Rob] Hey, this the glove Dad got ya?

- [Jerry] A mullet mustache combo.

- Mom and Pop gave it to me.

- you know, I was with Dad when he got it.

Made sure it was a pitcher's glove.

(gentle music) (crickets chirping)

(eerie music)

- The Orioles need a pitcher.

Jordy, why can't you pitch?

(thunder booms)

- [Jordy] I just had surgery on my nose.

- Jordy, Dad would've been

real disappointed in you for quitting.

- Here we go, Jordo.

No fear.

(campers chattering) (birds chirping)

- What are you doing?

We gotta go, everybody's already at the field, come on.

Jordy, you can't possibly be that scared to play again.

- You've never missed my birthday.

- I texted you on your birthday.

- I have no one to play with anymore, since Dad's gone.

Mom's always working, Pop tries, but he's old.

Why can't you come home?

Your school is not that far away.

- Being at home just isn't like it used to be.

- Because of Dad?

- And mom.

Mom wasn't happy with some of the stuff I said

about Dad at the funeral.

I just said that he was hard on me,

not that I didn't love him.

- Can't you just come home for me?

You said I was your best friend.

- I'm 10 years older than you, Jordy.

I'm an adult now.

You should really find a best friend that's your own age.

Now come on, let's go, we gotta get to the field.

(emotional music)

All right, Ted, let's see what you got.

- Hey kids, shoulders back.

Don't forget to keep your eye on the ball.

And keep those shirts tucked in.

(upbeat music)

There you go.

(golf cart rumbling)

- Lucas, I hope you brought an ice pack,

'cause your hand's about to get sore from catching my heat.

- Let it rip, Ted.

(upbeat music continues)

- No.

(Ted grunts)

- Oh boy.

- What the heck was that?

- That went a lot differently in my mind.

- You said you were a pitcher.

- Well, I have a .021 ERA in "MLB: The Show" on Xbox?

- Ted, it's a little different in real life.

- Well, yeah.

Geez, it really is.

- Jordy, get your butt in here and pitch.

- Not happening.

- You have 30 seconds to come here and pitch,

or I'm throwing you in the lake.

(ominous music)

- All right, well apparently,

Jordy tweaked his elbow throwing a meatball.

So for today, we'll have to start with some fielding drills.

Ground balls, throw it to first.

(heartbeat thudding)

(bat cracks) (bat whooshing)

- Hey, that's your ball, Jordy.

- Yep, sure was.

We need to be attacking balls, not avoiding them.

Let's try this again.

- Jordy, me and you are gonna have

a bullpen session after practice.

(gentle music)

I'm not falling for that elbow excuse.

Come on, hurry up.

You've got routines, too?

What else do you need, a bubble bath?

- How did you play games before your cochlear implant?

- [Lucas] The umpires knew

to tap my left shoulder for balls,

and my right shoulder for strikes.

Now quit stalling.

- Whoa, bro.

I think you just killed a worm.

Maybe I could have caught that,

if I was about five feet taller!

Do you even know how to pitch?

'Cause you throw like trash.

- Why don't you shut up, deaf boy?

- What'd you say?

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!

(both grunting)

Get off of me!

- [Lucas] Say you're sorry.

- I'm sorry, get off.

- Don't ever say that to me again.

Listen, obviously you know how to pitch,

and something is bothering you

that's making you freak out on the mound.

Are you worried about getting hit again?

- Yeah, kind of.

- I was nervous when I first got

my cochlear implant and hearing aid.

All the sounds were really scary.

My heart sounded like it was trying

to eat its way outta my chest.

- That's scary.

- Yeah, a toilet sounded like a bomb exploding,

it was so loud.

Without Niki coaching me,

I don't know how I would've gone through it.

- You're lucky to have her.

- What about you and Rob?

- Rob says I should find a new best friend,

closer to my age.

- Well, maybe you and I can become best friends,

if you stop acting like a baby,

and you have to start pitching better,

and you have to do the half mile swim test.

Deal?

Lemme show you something.

This pitch is called a knuckle curve.

It acts like a curve ball, and it dives down.

It'll get you a really easy ground out.

It also helps you get out of a jam.

You wanna take your booger picking finger,

bend it right here on the seam, and...

(Jordy giggles)

Dude, stop.

Let's try some pitches.

(crickets chirping)

(shaving cream hissing)

(campers giggling)

(Jordy shouting)

It was Frankie and the GreyWolves.

(campers snickering)

- [Jordy] It's not funny.

- Now it's time to plan our revenge.

(upbeat music)

- Yeah.

(Skip claps) - Woo!

- Where's Frankie's bed? - The Yankees one.

- Attaboy! - Attagirl!

- Hey, Lisa. (Skip farts)

That's gonna leave a mark, woo!

Ow!

- Attaboy! - Attagirl!

- Attaboy!

- Hey Chase, stop staring at Cabin 5

and focus on your own team.

- [Campers] Chug, chug, chug, chug, chug, chug, chug!

- [Announcer] We have group number 33

with the half mile swim test.

Get ready, swimmers, here we go.

(water splashing) (campers cheering)

- [Campers] Chug, chug, chug, chug, chug, chug, chug, chug!

(Skip retching)

(campers groaning)

- Three, two, one.

- Attaboy! - Attagirl!

- Nice.

(campers laughing)

- Jordy! - Nice job.

- Go, Scoops go! - Yeah, you got this!

- Woo! - Yeah!

- All right Jordy, it's your turn.

Scoops just did it, you're the last kid, let's go.

(ominous music)

(creature snarling)

- I'm sorry, I have to break our deal.

- I'll get you and Bunk 5 a box of candy.

Just go, come on, please.

- I can't do it.

- I'll kiss you, just go.

(heron squawks)

- Okay, stepping up next- - Jordy, ready.

- Half mile swim test. - Go.

- Jordy. - Come on, Jordy!

- You got it!

- [Campers] Jordy, Jordy, Jordy, Jordy, Jordy!

- Come on, you got it. (water splashing)

(campers cheering)

(water burbling)

(ominous music)

(campers cheering)

(water splashing)

(campers cheering)

(Jordy gasping)

- Yes, I did it!

(intense music continues)

(campers laughing)

- [Niki] You did it, Jordy, you passed!

(campers cheering)

(scat singing) (upbeat music)

- [Jerry on Speaker] The day has finally arrived!

The camp scrimmage.

As you all know, this is the precursor

to the championship game at the end of camp.

We do have some parents, counselors in the stands today.

The counselor, Elliot, will umpire.

♪ My eyes began to snap ♪

♪ She had thirty sacks of popcorn sittin’ in her lap ♪

♪ Yeah, popcorn ♪

- [Jerry on Speaker] Coach Casey smells like

he forgot his deodorant today.

Bunk 5, your dugout is on the first base line.

You're the home team.

Bunk 6, the GreyWolves, you're in the third base dugout,

and you'll be batting first.

I smell a good game.

(crowd cheering)

- All right, play ball! (crowd cheering)

- Let's go! - You got it!

- [Announcer] Pitching for Bunk 5, Jordy.

Up first for the GreyWolves, Doug.

(eerie music)

(Jordy breathing heavily)

Here's the first pitch.

It hit him. - Take your base.

- Is this kid seriously their pitcher?

What a wimp. - Yeah, what a wimp.

- Why are you wearing a mask?

- [Camper] This kid might actually be worse

than Freddie Pittsnogle.

- Hey, Nose, you smell that?

- Smells like fear. (campers laughing)

- That's right, your sniffer ain't working.

(campers laughing)

- [Announcer] Now up second for the GreyWolves, Frankie.

Here comes the pitch from Jordy, that's a ball.

- Don't aim it, just throw.

- [Announcer] Jordy winds and pitches.

Another ball for Jordy.

Ball.

- [Umpire] Ball four, take your base.

- [Announcer] Way out of the strike zone.

- Nice one, Nose.

- Wussy. (campers laughing)

- You're overthinking, just throw.

- Come on, man, let's go.

Come on, Jordy.

(heartbeat thudding) (suspenseful music)

(shoe scrapes)

(grip squeaking)

(bat whooshing)

(bat thuds) (Jordy crying)

(intense music)

(Jordy sobbing)

- Oh no, I can't feel anything.

(emotional music) (heartbeat thudding)

(emotional music continues) (heartbeat continues thudding)

- Come on Jordy, let's go!

- Dude, let's go!

(dramatic music) (heartbeat thudding)

(campers laughing)

What are you doing?

Move!

Your team's counting on you,

and you're just gonna do this?

Move, Jordy!

What is wrong with you?

- Hey, hey, hey, take it easy, Rob!

- Back off, buddy.

How 'bout you worry about your own son?

- Don't cross the line with me right now, Rob!

- [Umpire] Break it up.

The kid just freakin' peed his pants in front of everyone.

Give him a break!

No wonder college ball didn't work out for you,

he's a head case!

- [Umpire] That's it, that's it, calling it, game over.

Everybody off the field.

(Jordy sobbing)

(Jordy panting)

(Jordy sobbing)

(Jordy grunts)

(Jordy sobbing)

- No!

(somber music)

Dad!

(Jordy sobbing)

(somber music continues)

(thunder rumbling)

(rain pattering)

- [Derek] Found Jordy in the woods.

Took him to the medical center and checked him out.

He's okay.

- Thank you, Derek.

Is that you in there, Jordy?

(Jordy sniffling)

Shew, just had to make sure.

(thunder rumbling)

- I threw the glove that my dad gave me into the woods.

(Jordy crying)

- It's okay, I'll have staff go look for it.

- I wanna go home.

- You wanna sleep on it?

- No, I'm done here.

I know it.

- Jordy?

You have nothing to be ashamed of.

I'll give your mom a call, okay?

(emotional music)

Can I have a hug?

(Jordy sniffling)

In addition to these camps,

I've been a school social worker for years,

and I know kids, and Jordy is experiencing anxiety

stemming from his injury,

fear of performing in front of crowds.

- Losing his father.

- It all factors in.

- I mean, who knew kids could get the yips?

- Well, I wouldn't go that far.

I just think there's a lot going on upstairs.

- You know, sometimes you just gotta leave people alone.

Let them figure it out.

Like the manager who leaves a starting pitcher in

so he could work through it.

- Or knowing when to pull him

when he's digging himself a hole.

- Look at you, Mom.

So concerned about other people's feelings.

- I'm gonna go get Jordy's stuff.

I'll see you guys later.

(Pop groans)

- [Pop] Well, that’s my cue.

- You there?

- [Rob] Yeah.

- [Nora] Do you wanna talk about it?

- No, not really.

- I said such awful things to you at the funeral,

and I hate myself for it.

I did it because he was my husband, and your father,

and it's not how I wanted people to remember him.

- Well, I'm glad you were so concerned

about making him happy.

- He was supportive of me, and my dreams,

and going to night school, and taking care of you two,

and I appreciated it.

But I know he had another side,

and I know

(exhales) he was hard on you.

He was hard.

He said things that

crushed you.

I defended him when I should have been

protecting you.

I love you.

If you ever, if you ever forgive me, I'm here.

But we have to think about Jordy right now.

You know?

Losing his dad, you know, losing your dad.

It's something that you'll both learn to live with,

but, uh,

he'll never come back from losing you.

(emotional music)

(emotional music continues)

Are you there, Robbie?

- Yeah.

I've got a few minutes, if you wanna talk.

(water trickling) (Pop humming)

- Honey, I got the dishes.

You go and relax, go ahead.

- Yeah? - I got the game on replay.

I finally found out how to use that streaming app.

Woop-woop, dunno how, but I did.

- Oh. (Pop humming)

- Hey buddy, need a little help?

- No, I'm all set.

Hey, is Jordy okay?

- I put him in his own cabin.

I think he's okay.

- I'm just finishing up here.

You can head on back.

(bats clanking)

Why are you staring at me?

- Do you wanna hit some balls?

- I gotta get back to the cabin.

- I sent Derek to watch the boys,

so I think you should come.

(gentle music)

- Okay guys, we don't have too much time

before the counselors are gonna make us

go back to our cabins.

- We may have longer than you think.

(campers groaning)

- No thank you. - Ugh.

- [Camper] Hey guys, we only have eight players now.

- This is pointless. Now we're not gonna be able to play

in the championship game.

- So you're blaming Jordy?

- Of course I'm blaming him.

He's our pitcher, and he freaked out and quit.

- Lucas!

- We should leave soon, too.

Lisa's not feeling well.

- You know, I could take you back if you want,

and you could stay.

Trust me, you'd rather me take you.

- Why?

- Because if there's a bear,

he'd rather eat me, since I'm the bigger meal.

(campers snickering)

- I'm glad you stayed.

(crickets chirping)

- [Niki] Lucas!

- Just leave me alone, Niki!

- What is wrong with you?

- What is wrong with me?

A whole spring and summer without baseball.

That's what. - You remember all those times

you came home from school crying,

because what of those kids said to you?

And now you're being one of those kids, you hypocrite!

Oh really?

You're gonna do that?

- I'm sorry, I can't hear you.

- Read my lips.

I don't care if you're the best player on the team.

You had a chance to be a role model for Jordy,

and you failed.

Why are you looking at me like that?

- Sorry, your breath smells like something you ate,

and I just can't figure out what it was.

- That's what you got out of this?

- I'm kidding, I'm kidding.

It's just a joke.

You're right.

- What was Mouth talking about?

What happened to you?

- Let's just say it's something

that can only happen to girls.

- You got your period?

I have four sisters.

I've seen them in pain monthly.

It's the nature of being a woman, they say.

Are you okay?

- I'm fine, thanks for asking?

- Do you use Organyc pads?

It's better for your skin.

It's what my sisters told me once at the store.

Thanks for the talk, I learned a lot, peace!

- Hey Ted, why don't you say a prayer for the team?

- Well, why not?

Gotta do something, this is a disaster.

(Ted humming)

(Ted groaning)

(campers snickering)

(Ted sighs)

- Hey guys, I wrote a song for our team.

(ukulele music)

♪ We're at Camp Belgrade and it's so much fun ♪

♪ Playing baseball in the summer sun ♪

♪ All you gotta do is sing this song ♪

♪ Attaboy and attagirl ♪

(emotional music) (crickets chirping)

- That was good. - Yeah.

- So good! (campers clapping)

(campers chattering)

(golf cart rumbling)

- Mom coming to get you now?

(birds chirping)

(Rob sighs)

I'm sorry that I yelled at you.

I know it doesn't mean much now.

Public humiliation, private apology.

- I know you didn't mean it.

- I didn't.

- What did Coach Casey mean

when he said that thing

about your college team not working out?

- I got benched.

Terrible hitting slump.

My batting average dropped below .150.

Just couldn't focus.

- Were you sad about Dad?

(golf cart rumbling)

- [Ruth] Hey Rob, Jerry needs you on the field.

- [Rob] What for?

- I don't know, but he needs you there right now,

so take the shortcut through the woods.

- I wish you weren't leaving.

(emotional music continues)

- Hey, hop on the cart.

I'll take you to the front gate.

- [Jordy] Isn't the entrance the other way?

- [Ruth] We're taking another route.

I talked to your mom.

I didn't want her to make the six hour drive

unless she really had to.

There's someone I want you to meet first.

Go on, Jordy.

Go on, go on.

- Jordy, come here.

Fist bumpage.

Hey, I want to introduce you to somebody.

This is Curtis Pride.

He played in the Major Leagues for 11 years.

- Hey. - Seriously?

- Nice to meet you.

- Curtis was planning on coming at the end of camp

to do some drills with the players,

but then I told him about everything going on,

how you were gonna leave early.

He came today, he came for you.

You wanna stick around, play a little ball with Curtis?

- Heck yes.

- Team meeting, skippity bop, good hustle.

Jordy, join the team meeting there.

I want to introduce you all to my friend, Curtis Pride.

(campers cheering) (campers clapping)

So Curtis is deaf, just like Niki and Lucas.

He was actually the only deaf player

to play in the Major League since 1945.

I think that deserves an Attaboy.

- [Campers] Attaboy!

- Hey guys, ready to play baseball?

- [Campers] Yeah!

- Hey Rob, let's split them up,

and have them go to their positions,

where we'll do some drills.

- Let's do it.

- All right. - All right, Bunk 5.

Everybody take your positions.

Hey Ted, center field's in the middle.

See it, feel it, love it.

We're listening to Coach Curtis now.

Follow Coach Curtis's lead.

There ain't nothing like official Major League tutelage.

- There you go. - Thank you.

- No problem.

Hey Jordy, your brother told me about your accident,

and I know how tough it is to come back from injuries.

Gotta think positive,

don't worry about getting hurt again.

Just think about performing well.

You can do this, all right?

There you go.

- Anything is possible.

Best, Curtis Pride.

- Good luck.

(crickets chirping)

(door creaks)

- I've decided to stay.

- You're not a part of Cabin 5,

until you've learned our cabin chant.

- Yeah! - Yes!

- [Campers] Ackla lacka ching, ackla lacka chow,

acka lacka ching, ching, chow, chow, chow.

Boom-a-lacka, boom-a-lacka, sis, boom, bah!

Jordy, Jordy, rah, rah, rah!

Ackla lacka ching, ackla lacka chow,

acka lacka ching, ching, chow, chow, chow.

Boom-a-lacka, boom-a-lacka, sis, boom, bah!

Jordy, Jordy, rah, rah, rah!

(soothing music)

- Let's take a deep breath, in through our nose,

slowly out our mouth.

We all have our different beliefs.

That's a good thing.

I think what really matters, really matters,

is believing, period.

That's when we can get into the zone.

That safe space that we can go to

to channel that energy that we need to thrive.

Players talk about being in the zone all the time,

playing at your highest level.

Some people think it's a stroke of luck.

I think it's when you are finally,

truly not worried about the future,

not dwelling on the past, just in the now.

That's when we can make the incredible possible.

(crickets chirping) (gentle music)

(gentle music continues)

(gentle music continues)

- Jordy. (voice echoing)

Jordy. (voice echoing)

Jordy, come here.

It's me.

You're wearing the shirt.

I wore that shirt when I went to camp here.

I'm so glad Mom packed it.

I always tried to get Rob to wear it, but he wouldn't.

- I miss you, Dad.

- I miss you too, buddy.

Why are you wearing a mask?

- I need it for protection.

- No you don't.

Why don't you go ahead and take that off, son?

You forgot what I taught you?

You need to be able to look into the eyes of the batter.

Stare 'em down, remember?

- Yeah.

- I got you that pitcher's glove for a reason.

After you deliver a pitch,

you have to make sure that you follow through.

Glove hand has to go up like this.

That's right, to shield your face.

Hey Jordy, I found it.

Jordy, wake up.

Jordy, Jordy, I found it, wake up.

- Jordy.

I found your glove in the woods.

Come on, get up.

- What are we doing?

- Some cognitive therapy.

All right, Jordy, eyes on the bat.

Follow the bat with your eyes.

Okay, ready for some pepper?

Now, eyes on the ball, focus.

(gentle music)

Now you're getting it.

- [Jerry] Ruth and I are so proud.

Bunk 5 stuck together like a team.

That's what Camp Belgrade baseball is all about.

We've already scheduled Camp Kennebec to fill in,

so now that Jordy's back,

if you wanna play in the championship game,

you'll have to convince Coach Casey

and the GreyWolves that you're ready.

- So what's up, boys?

- The whole point of the championship game

is so kids here at Belgrade can play,

not freaking Kennebec.

- Bragging right to the camp.

It's always been that way.

- We're ready.

Let us play.

(inspiring music)

- Attaboy.

- Attaboy! - Attaboy!

(campers shouting)

(campers continue shouting)

- All right, let's do it.

Your feet, Ted, watch your feet.

All right, so once you find your set,

bring your leg up, find your balance.

Yes!

Down and over the top, Jordy.

Don't rush it, Lisa.

Perfect!

Center, you and Lucas's glove is all that matters.

Get centered, square it up,

kick, over the top, over the top.

Again, again, perfect!

(dramatic music)

All right, Cabin 5, gather around.

I got a surprise for ya.

- Hey Rob, do you think you could wear this microphone

for the championship game?

I know the crowd's gonna be loud, and I need to hear you.

- Absolutely.

All right, so Ruth had something special

made for the championship game.

Our team name is the Rally Caps.

(campers cheering) (campers applauding)

- [Rob] Mouth, that one's for you.

All right, we got hats too.

- [Camper] Oh, yes.

- Lisa, I have one for you.

Let's see.

Ted Say a Prayer. - Yeah!

- This one's for Jordy.

Mom texted me the team name,

Pop made sure you got Number 5, for Brooks.

- What's a rally cap?

- A rally cap is when you turn your hat

inside out, like this.

It can help will your team to a come from behind victory.

Some people think it's just a myth.

They don't believe in it, but I do.

- [Richard] Wow, genius.

- Richard? - Here.

- Here you go.

All right, what else we got here?

Scoops.

(suspenseful music)

- Well, the dirt is raked, the grass is green.

Championship day.

Let's rock it, kids.

BT and Jerry Nathan, live in Upstate New York,

and across Camp Belgrade Radio.

We are ready, a big one here, Jer, here we go.

- My passion bucket is full of Big League Chew gum, BT.

What's happening?

- [BT] All good, it's time to rock and roll.

- [Jerry] It smells like, uh?

- [BT] Like Teen Spirit, little Nirvana?

- [Jerry] A little bit of Nirvana today.

- [BT] Well, it could be because these teams are very good,

but it could be unpredictable.

I'll tell you what, this is what it's all about.

I mean, you go through the rigors,

you get ready, you practice, you dream.

It is go time, and there's a crowd here.

The anticipation's palpable.

This is gonna be a lot fun.

- Gentlemen, it's a 7 inning game.

GreyWolves are home team.

I want you to hustle your kids in and out.

Use good sportsmanship, no arguing balls and strikes.

And most importantly,

I want those shirts tucked in at all times.

- The coach for the Rally Caps, Number 13, Coach Rob! - That's right.

- [Announcer] The coach for the GreyWolves,

Number 37, Coach Casey. - Play ball!

(Nora sighs)

- Jerry just texted, game's starting.

He said he'd send some updates.

Ah, gosh, I really wish

I wasn't so anxious right now.

- Yeah, me too.

I'm gonna crack some walnuts to ease my mind.

- Okay, I'm gonna go for a run.

Okay, bye!

(walnut cracking) (Pop grunting)

- [BT] All right, it's go time, here we go,

as Scoops digs into the box.

Let's play some ball here.

- [BT] There's Frankie, gets set on the rubber.

Sets, he deals, strike.

- They call him Frankie bag of pasta.

Loves a big dish of spaghetti,

and he's a heck of an athlete.

- Invite me over, I'll have some too.

- Yummy, and wash it down with a cold milk.

- [BT] I'm going for something else,

but the kids, they can have the milk.

Strike two on the corner.

- They call him Scoops.

He loves ice cream.

He's not gonna have one scoop,

he's gonna have two scoops of ice cream.

- Well, he's got two strikes in addition to the two scoops.

Here's the pitch.

On the corner as well, strike three, ring 'em up.

Did not take the bat off his shoulders.

And here's Niki into the box, the left fielder.

First pitch, strike one.

- Strike! - Swing and a miss.

Strike two. - Strike three!

- [BT] Inside on the black, strike three.

- [Jerry] I don't think that's the end of Niki for today.

We'll see her again.

- [Announcer] Number 4 Lucas, catcher.

Swing and a miss!

- The wind up, the pitch - Boom!

- [BT] We're dealing early, strike three.

- He's got that live arm today, baby.

- He's hosing it.

Taking the field, the Rally Caps!

(all cheering)

- [Announcer] Now batting, the home team, the GreyWolves.

Pitching for the Rally Caps, Number 5, Jordy.

(crowd cheering) (crowd applauding)

(emotional music)

(crowd continues cheering) (emotional music continues)

(heartbeat thudding)

- Jordy now is looking into the dugout.

He's calling time out here.

- Yeah, I think maybe Lucas needs to head up there.

Just give him a little calm down speech.

- [Lucas] Time out already?

You haven't even started yet.

- [Jordy] I can't do this.

- Remember, just block out the noise.

You got this.

(heartbeat thudding) (emotional music)

Come on, guys, come on.

(crowd cheering)

- Come on, Jordy. - Come on, you got this.

- You got this. - You got this, Jordy.

- You got this, Jordy. - You can do it.

- So you see the Rally Caps conferring

as a group on the mound.

- Come on. - You got this.

- Let's go. - You got this, Jordy.

- [Lucas] Let's go.

- I owed you that for the swim test.

You got this, Jordy, okay?

- Oh look at this, a little peck on the cheek.

That'll get you going.

- Oh, wow.

I, uh, well - wow!

- Let's go, lover boy!

(upbeat music)

- All right, Lucas, I'm testing that microphone you gave me?

Check, check, can you hear me over the crowd?

- Yeah. - Sweet, it works.

Alright, game on.

- Batter up!

- [Announcer] Number 7, Doug.

- [BT] Jordy winds, deals, ripped in the gap.

That might find some grass, it does,

and that's probably gonna be a double, yes it is.

Doug with a standup double.

- All right, Lucas,

let's go a little high cheese for Frankie.

- [BT] So Doug's on second base.

Here is big, bad Frankie.

Look at those eyes, he's locked in.

The pitch from Jordy.

(bat clangs)

And he rips one down the right field line.

That's got a little steam on it.

That's gonna plate Doug

and Frankie with back to back doubles.

The GreyWolves with an early one-nothing lead.

- [Announcer] Number 17, Jeff.

- [BT] So Jordy trying to navigate a bit of a jam.

Here's the pitch.

- [BT] That is way upstairs.

Ball two, ball three, not even close, ball four,

and Jeff will draw a walk.

Wow, Jordy losing the zone as Chase digs in.

- [Announcer] Now batting for the GreyWolves,

Number 2, Chase.

- [BT] Jordy on the mound, looks around, gets the sign,

runners on first and second, here's the pitch.

(bat clangs) Chase hits a rocket.

Oh, what a play by Scoops at short!

He runs over second, there's two, over to first - Triple play!

- Woo! - Yeah!

(crowd cheering)

- [BT] What a sequence, triple play!

- [Jerry] Man, BT, that is the first triple play

in the history of Camp Belgrade.

- [Rally Caps Team] Two Scoops! Two Scoops!

- [Jerry] Scoops, you earned that second scoop

of ice cream, buddy.

- [Rally Caps Team] Two Scoops! Two Scoops! Two Scoops!

(tense music)

- [Ruth] Strike!

- [BT] Pitch, here’s a strike, strike two.

[Chase] Attaboy! [BT] Strike three, ring ‘em up!

- Well, that was quick.

The Rally Caps go down one, two, three in order.

Jordy at the belt, winds, fires.

(bat clangs) Crushed!

- [BT] That one's got a shot!

- [BT] That one is deep, that one is gone!

And so, after four, the GreyWolves with a two-nothing lead

over the Rally Caps.

So, Jordy back on the mound, delivers.

- Strike, strike, strike three!

- [BT] And here's Jordy with a pitch to Tim.

- [BT] Hard grounder, over to Lisa across the diamond to Skip.

- Out! - Ring'em up.

Grounder over to Tim, fairly routine.

Tim gobbles it up.

(bat clangs)

Lee a couple of hops, base hit, right field.

Here's the pitch.

- Lisa, get back to third, get back to third!

Tag him! - The throw to third, the tag, got him!

- All right! (crowd cheering)

- Here's the pitch. (bat clangs)

There's a grounder to shorts, Scoops there,

flips over to second - in time!

Jordy uncorks one.

Oh, that ball is driven out deep to right.

Rich back, and he gets it!

Here's the pitch to Steve.

Oh, over to second right to Mouth

Nice field flip over to Scoops,

back to first, do they get it?

They do, double play.

Here's the pitch

That ball's driven out to center, uh-oh.

- Move your feet, Ted.

Move your feet, Ted, move your feet!

- [BT] He's in his tracks!

He hauls it in! - Yes!

Nice job, Ted!

Ted?

Ted, what're you doing?

You can't pray during the play!

Throw it in!

- [BT] A little overzealous in the celebration,

but what a play by Ted.

So a nice sequence here for Jordy.

Starting to find a groove, he's dialed in a bit,

keeping the ball on the ground, couple of strike outs.

Jordy hitting the zone.

- I think he's thinking about Labradoodles,

because that's his favorite animal, BT.

- So here's big Lucas at the dish, lots of power.

How about the wiggle?

Here's the pitch, Lucas smokes one, that is deep!

That is a no doubter, watch that one sail.

It's almost off a tree!

- That's what I'm talking about, buddy, all right!

- [BT] The Rally Caps on the board, 2-1,

the big fly by Lucas.

- Attaboy, that might get the Rally Caps going, BT.

- All right, let's try a change up here, Lucas.

- [BT] So Jordy back on the mound, delivers.

Jordy getting in the zone, another whiff.

- Let's go with a fastball here.

- Jordy with the pitch, strike three.

So after serving up a solo shot,

Jordy is right back in the groove,

back, to back, to back whiffs.

- BT, you gotta be proud of this kid.

He's been through so much.

- He is a grinder, you gotta love him.

- [Announcer] Top of the 7th,

GreyWolves 2, Rally Caps 1.

- Okay, Rally Caps, the top of the 7th,

I need everybody to pay attention to me.

Close attention at third base, all right?

Step out after every pitch.

We got this.

- Get your Rally Caps on! - Yeah!

(campers clapping)

- Let's go! (campers cheering)

(dramatic music)

- [BT] So, Scoops strides confidently up to the plate.

- [Announcer] Now batting for the Rally Caps,

Number 8, Scoops.

- All right, here we go, Scoops!

Come on, now.

- Here's the pitch. (bat clangs)

There's a base hit!

(crowd cheering)

- All right, hey!

Good job, Scoops, get on one!

- [BT] Rally Caps, a little thunder

over here in the 7th.

(Rally Caps Team cheering)

- [BT] So that'll bring up Niki,

and she looks fiercely determined.

What else is new?

- Okay, Niki, here we go.

Pick me up here.

- [Announcer] Now batting for the Rally Caps,

Number 19, Niki.

- [Rob] Let's go, Niki, come on! Bat on the ball.

- [BT] She gets the sign down at third base.

Here's the pitch.

And Niki, shows the hands, goes down and gets it.

Good looking bunt over to Danny at third base.

Danny, fires it over the first baseman's head!

- [BT] Scoops is trying to score!

- [BT] He's gonna make it!

(crowd cheering)

Look at that dugout fired up.

- [Jerry] Niki beautifully bunt down with those soft hands,

she ran around those bases like a wolf.

(Jerry howls)

- [BT] So the Rally Caps strike,

they tie things up at two, we are knotted up.

- [Jerry] Hey, if I'm being completely honest, BT,

I did not see this coming.

I'm a little bit nervous.

- That'll bring up bring up Lucas,

and he strides confidently to the dish.

He's ready to do a little damage.

Try to do a little mash job.

(bat clangs) - Here's the pitch.

There's a good swing, it's popped up.

Just missed it down the left field line.

Jeff has a beat on it, he'll corral it, makes the play.

Niki back to tag from third.

Rally Caps trying to take the lead.

- Safe!

- Safe, she's in! (Rally Caps Team cheering)

Caps up 3-2.

- Oh my goodness!

(crowd cheering) (Rally Caps Team cheering)

- All right, Rally Caps, settle down, settle down.

Great work. - Good job.

- Great work.

- [BT] So a nice sequence there for the Rally Caps.

Lucas, the sacrifice fly give him the RBI

and how about Niki, heads up and instinctual as always

tagging up from third, Rally Caps up 3-2.

- I think I'm gonna throw up, bye.

- Where you going?

(crowd cheering)

What a spot for the young lefty,

Jordy rolls toward the hill.

Bottom 7, Rally Caps up by 1.

Three outs away, but boy oh boy,

they've gotta seem miles away

after what this young man's been through.

What a day so far.

(phone rings)

- Hey Jerry, is everything okay?

- I need your attention, Nora.

- What is it, Jordy, is he okay?

- He's more than okay.

How do I flip this thing?

He's pitching a masterpiece.

I never thought it would be this close!

He's pitching in the bottom of the 7th inning.

- [Nora] What?

- Yes! - No way!

- Yes! - Oh my god, okay.

- All right, I'll FaceTime you the rest!

- Dad, Dad!

- Now don't tell me, he broke something else?

- Bottom of the 7th!

Jordy’s pitching a gem!

- Oh come on, you're pulling my leg.

- Oh, no, no.

Look.

- Whoa, you got it!

- [Nora] Yes!

- No, no, I don't think we should be watching this.

It might jinx the kid.

I'm gonna just crack some walnuts, okay?

- Dad, enough with the nuts, look!

(crowd cheering)

- Wow, all right, put it on the big screen.

I don't wanna watch a big moment like this

on a little thing like that.

- Fine. - Get it up on there.

- Oh, gosh.

- You don't know how. - Not really.

- [BT] Here comes Rob, and it looks like he's coming out

for a pep talk with Jordy.

- Come on, come on!

- [Pop] Oh, there it is, there it is, it's working.

There it is. - Oh, good.

- Hey, Jordy.

I can tell a lot's probably

going through your head right now.

I can see it in your eyes.

- He's giving him a pep talk.

Hey Rob, don't put too much in his head,

just let him play.

- I just want you to know

that you can tell me anything, honestly.

Just tell me how you feel.

(suspenseful music)

- I think Niki really digs me.

- Oh!

(Rob laughs)

- All right, I think you're gonna be okay.

All right, Rally Caps.

Let's do this, three more outs!

- So here we are, bottom seven, Jordy hanging in.

Resilient, dealing, here's the pitch.

There's a hopper over to second.

Off of Doug's bat, fires to first, the out.

- Woo, Number 3! - Hey!

- Nice.

- [BT] All right, that'll bring up Frankie

for his third at bat,

he is not short on confidence.

There's the pitch, and Frankie goes down and digs it out.

That ball is deep, over his head at center

as Frankie coasts into second.

Frankie digs in with two.

- Okay, it's fine.

It's just one runner.

- I can't stomach this.

- [Announcer] Now batting for the GreyWolves,

Number 17, Jeff.

- [BT] Here's the pitch from Jordy,

Jeff rips a bullet to left field.

Frankie, gotta get on his horse, whoa!

They hold him up, they tap the brakes.

Interesting decision as he holds up at third.

- The tying and winning runs are on first and third.

Stay on this base until I tell you to go, got me?

- Yeah.

- [Announcer] Now batting for the GreyWolves,

Number 2, Chase.

- Niki, move, move, more!

He's a dead pull hitter,

just move, all the way, all the way!

To the line, on the line, all right!

- Second to third, big threat here.

Jordy tries to navigate this.

Here's the pitch to Chase.

There's a bullet.

That one is rocked down the left field line.

Niki's gonna have to turn on the jets.

She makes a running grab, what a play by Niki!

And how about the hose!

- Whoa! - Woo!

What a catch!

You go, girl!

- What did I tell you earlier, Frankie?

- I'm sorry.

- What is wrong with you?

Another mental mistake, my god.

You could've tagged up and scored!

- I can't take this, this is too nerve-racking,

I've gotta go. - No, no, no, no, no.

Come on, Dad.

- My heart is beating too fast,

and I can't take that chance.

- It's a game, breathe.

- All right, you tell me all about it.

I gotta go.

- Really?

- You know, I just wish that they had gotten blown out.

To get to this point here, and then lose,

at this moment, huh?

- Dad! - That'd be the worst thing that could happen -

- Stop being such a drama king and get back here,

please don't leave me alone!

(tense music)

- [Announcer] Now batting for the GreyWolves,

Number 14, Steve.

- [BT] Here's the first pitch from Jordy,

little high, ball, one and oh.

That one's in the dirt, two and oh.

Jordy delivers, strike, two and one.

- Come on.

Come on.

- [BT] Jordy at the belt, winds, delivers, way high.

Heads up! Tthree and one.

- Strike! - Fast ball, strike.

Full count. - Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!

- [BT] Payoff pitch, Jordy at the belt,

winds, fires.

- Ball four, take your base!

(crowd groans) - Oh that's on the black.

Where was that?

- No! - Oh, come on!

- That’s no ball! - What!

That's a strike, right over the outside corner!

- No, no, no, no, no! - Where are your eyes?

Hey, what, what? - Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!

- What's happening, what's happening? - Where'd it go?

Don't do this now, no, no, no!

- Hey Jerry, come on, get back on.

- Jerry! - Where are ya?

- Ruth, are you okay?

Do you need new eyeballs?

- Whoa, whoa, take it easy, Jerry.

- Hi there, that ball was right over the corner.

That was strike three, it wasn't even close.

- Jerry, calm down.

- Jerry, Jerry!

- I am calm, I'm not screaming.

Am I screaming, 'cause I'm not!

- Jerry, sit down!

- You know what, these kids are giving it their best.

They are busting their tail.

- The least you can do is run a fair game. - Jerry!

- I'm not gonna warn you again!

- You ump like a chump.

- Jerry, no.

- That's it, you are outta here!

- And you're outta here, we're both outta here!

I run this baseball program!

- And I own this camp, get off of my field!

(Jerry screams)

(Jerry grunts)

(crowd cheering) (crowd laughing)

(plucky music)

- So the bases are juiced, and the scene is set.

The tying and winning runs both aboard.

[BT]: Jordy signals for his buddy and his backstop

as Lucas comes out.

One final conversation

- [Lucas] What's up, man?

- Let's try the knuckle curve.

- Okay.

Jordy, please try not to hit anybody in the stands.

- I mean, it's definitely over by now.

Either they won, or they lost.

I mean, Jordy's happy, or he's crying.

Or I mean, maybe he doesn't care he lost.

I mean, that would be incredible, right?

I'd love it if he just, he didn't care at all.

He just had fun, he was just laughing with his friends.

But I don't know what's happening, and it's killing me!

- Honey, listen.

I warned you.

All this streaming stuff, you didn't listen to me,

and we got burnt.

You should've stuck with cable.

- Now batting for the GreyWolves, Number 4, Barry! -

Alright, so this is the spot that Jordy finds himself in.

He has to dance out of a jam.

He's been so good all day.

- 3-2 - Caps up by a run.

Bases loaded.

- Y'all still there? - Jerry!

- Yes, had a little pause in the action.

The umpire had a bee in her beehonkus.

- Wait, wait, wait, it's not over?

- Bottom of the 7th, bases loaded,

and the Rally Caps are up 1, let's go!

(tense music)

- [BT] All right, so everybody's locked in,

tension's obviously high.

- [Skip] All right, here we go.

On your toes, on your toes!

- [BT] Here's Jordy, who has been resilient all day.

A steady diet of fast balls and change ups.

(feet tapping)

What will he reach for here in the biggest spot of the game?

(bee buzzing) (tense music)

Uh. Time!

(Fan laughs)

All right, here we go.

(suspenseful music)

(heartbeat thudding)

(Jordy breathes deeply)

(heartbeat thudding)

(ball whooshes)

(bat clangs) It's shot back to the mound!

(insects buzzing)

- [Dad] Glove hand is up, like this, to shield your face,

to shield your face.

(emotional music)

(Jordy grunts)

(Jordy grunts)

(Jordy grunts)

- Out!

- Got him, he's out! - Yes!

(both cheering)

(crowd cheering)

- 3-2 the Caps win! Caps take it, the Caps win!

Ring it up, ring the bell, 3-2 Rally Caps get the win!

Wow, what a day, and what a play by Jordy!

(crowd cheering) (emotional music)

- [RALLY CAPS TEAM] Rally Caps, Rally Caps, Rally Caps, Rally Caps,

Rally Caps!

- [Rob] Thanks, Jerry.

- [RALLY CAPS TEAM] Rally Caps, yeah!

- Attaboy.

- All right, Rally Caps, let's line it up!

- Today, we were treated

with a surprise visit from Curtis Pride.

He's a Major Leaguer, and an even better human being.

We're gonna be screening a video of Curtis.

- Hi, I'm Curtis Pride.

Some of you might already know my story.

I was born 95% deaf, and I'm widely known

as the first and only full season deaf player

in the modern history of Major League Baseball.

A lot of people thought it would be impossible

for me to make it into the Major League.

Since I cannot hear the crack of the bat,

when the ball is hit,

or hear the voices of my coaches and teammates.

- [Announcer] September 17, 1993, less than a year

after almost walking away from baseball,

Curtis Pride is called up by the Expos

in the middle of a pennant race.

As a pinch hitter, he gets his first Major League hit.

(crowd cheering)

It's an incredible experience.

What followed was most unexpected.

The fans knew Curtis Pride was deaf.

They knew he couldn't hear 'em,

but they gave him a five minute standing ovation.

(crowd cheering) (dramatic music)

He couldn't hear the fans,

but he felt the vibration in his chest.

- Remember, with determination and hard work,

Anything is possible.

- [John Sterling] Swung on, hit high in the air to deep center.

Damon back, going way back, on the track,

he's at the wall, she's gone!

Curtis Pride, in his first game as a Yankee,

has hit a home run over the center field fence!

- [John Sterling] Curtis Pride gets a curtain call.

How about that?

Talk about pride of the Yankees.

The deaf Curtis Pride.

Something, that is really something.
