Scene 4 ANNOUNCER 1: Well fans, here we are at the bottom of the third inning and there's a man on third, with one out. We've got a close one here. ANNOUNCER 2: Now, this is an interesting situation. When Abram first started out in the league, he was always on the move. Now, he's getting a bit up there in years, and he's coaching at third base. Looks like a misprint in the program, though … it actually lists him as Ab-ra-ham instead of Abram. ANNOUNCER 1: Actually, he says that God changed his name, because he promised that Abraham would be the father of many nations. ANNOUNCER 2: And that sounds like quite a promise for a guy of his age. Well, coming up to the plate right now is his own son, the young rookie Isaac. ANNOUNCER 1: Yes, and Abraham is in a tough situation here. If I'm not mistaken, the manager is calling for a sacrifice, and that would leave Abraham no choice but to give that sign to his own son. ANNOUNCER 2: Tensions are rising as the pitcher looks to the plate … wait there's been a time out called. Looks like they're bringing in a pinch hitter. At the last minute, Isaac has been replaced! In comes the pinch hitter … oh, it's the perfect replacement, they call him "The Ram." He's fast too, hardly ever gets caught. ANNOUNCER 1: Now here's the pitch, he swings … oh my, the crowd is going wild. (Kids are cheering) It's a deep fly ball, caught for an out at the warning track, but the runner on third is safe at home. PROGRAM VENDOR: Hebrews 11:9, 17 and 19. "Abraham had faith. So he obeyed God. God called him to go to a place he would later receive as his own. So he went. He did it even though he didn't know where he was going. Abraham had faith. So he offered Isaac as a sacrifice. That happened when God put him to the test. Abraham believed that God could raise the dead. In a way he did receive Isaac back from death."
