Scene 8
MILLIE: Alright, we better get ready. The Knights will be here any time
now. And, Ryan, don't say it!
RYAN: I know, I know. Have some faith! I gotta say, if God can do such
amazing things through some normal people who have faith in
Him, maybe we can pull a miracle and beat the Knights.
SAM: I know! Miss Sherry, can your dad still play? Maybe we'd have a
prayer if he joined our team!
SHERRY: (laughs) Well, he doesn't play much any more. But you'll be fine.
I have faith in you guys.
MRS. PASTOR: It really is wonderful to see you kids out here playing ball
on our lot. I think I see a lot of future Hall of Faithers in this
group! Before we go, maybe I'll just take a little swing at that
ball.
(she wobbles over to home plate)
SAM: Really? But you're so … (Millie covers his mouth)
JAKE: I'll pitch to you, Mrs. Pastor.
(He throws an imaginary ball and she swings and there is a loud
thwack as they watch the ball fly up and away. All the kids are
shocked—they gasp, mouths open as they follow the shot, then they
hear a crash. Satisfied, she drops the bat.)
SFX 4: "Window Breaking"
KIDS: (ad lib. What? Did you see? I don't believe it!, etc.)
SHERRY: Oh, by the way, it isn't my Dad who's the Hall of Famer … my
Mom is. She led the Women's Professional Baseball league in
homers when she was 18!
RYAN: Uh, Mrs. Pastor, are you busy for the next hour or so?
SHERRY: Mom, I think they want you to suit up!
KIDS: (ad lib. Yeah! All Right! Definitely! Let's Go!, etc.)
(music begins to "In the Big Inning Curtain Calls")
SONG: "IN THE BIG INNING CURTAIN CALLS"
