00:02Welcome to the Briar Glen Regional Baseball Championship.
00:05Today's matchup features two top local teams, the Rangers and the Titans.
00:09These two sides have traded wins all season, evenly matched down to the wire.
00:14Three of Briar Glen's brightest rising stars are taking the field today.
00:18Keaton Johnston, Peregrine Black, and Felix Wong.
00:28Two of them play for the Briar Glen High Rangers.
00:38These are long time bitter rivals who will walk away with the championship and lock in their spot for state.
00:47Let's find out.
00:52Hey.
00:55I'll send over today's workflow to you in a bit.
00:57I pulled some strings and got you a media pass.
01:00You can work alongside us today.
01:01You serious?
01:08Sorry. I don't need it.
01:19This is gonna be such a good game.
01:22That's Javier, the catcher.
01:26Who's that guy?
01:27That's Felix, captain of the Titans.
01:29He got scouted by a club last year, played one season at state.
01:31He's just as good as Keaton.
01:33Speaking of Keaton...
01:35I don't see him.
01:37Word is he didn't get the starting pitcher spot yesterday.
01:39He's pretty torn up about it.
01:40Then who's starting Peregrine?
01:42Bingo!
01:43Word is Keaton was basically a lock for the spot, but for some reason they suddenly went with Perry instead.
01:49All right, where is Keaton right now?
01:52Are you gonna go comfort heartbroken Captain Keaton?
01:55Oh my gosh.
01:57Remember that shirt I borrowed from him? I'm just returning it.
02:02Okay.
02:03He's probably down in the locker room.
02:05Lily, we gotta rehearse. Coming.
02:16We've gotta lock in out there today.
02:18Where's Keaton?
02:20Probably in the locker room.
02:24Long time no see.
02:27Yeah.
02:28Man, I miss those days when we played ball together back in middle school.
02:31Where'd Keaton wander off to again?
02:34He'll show up for the pre-game meeting.
02:36Gotta say hi to him then.
02:38It's been a whole year.
02:40I'm gonna go change my gear.
02:43Peregrine.
02:46What is it?
02:50You must be so happy you stole someone else's spot.
02:54I know your dad's behind all of this.
02:58Those Blakes are something else.
03:00Word has it he paid to get his son that starting spot.
03:03Just to butter up his business partners.
03:05What?
03:06Your suck.
03:26What are you doing here?
03:28Your shirt.
03:29Thanks for letting me borrow it.
03:30Oh, thanks.
03:33I heard you didn't get the starting pitcher spot.
03:37Yeah.
03:38But it's fine.
03:39As long as we win.
03:41That's not the Keaton I know.
03:43I don't really know what to say to make this better, but...
03:49You've actually changed how I see jocks.
03:51I believe you'll shine no matter what position you play.
03:53You can lead the Rangers to win this.
03:58Obviously, this is just as a friend.
04:00You know, I wrote that article about the baseball team, so I know a little bit.
04:03You've helped me out a bunch, so I'm just trying to cheer you up.
04:05Miller.
04:07Thanks.
04:12Whoa, you scared the crap out of me.
04:16Did you just go check on Keaton?
04:19Peregrine, I don't know what's going down between you two, but I've been thinking.
04:22That thing you asked me before, about taking easy ways out, I feel like this is exactly what you were
04:26talking about.
04:27I used to low-key judge all the athlete guys, but I'm honestly changing my mind lately.
04:31The fact that you even question that stuff, it means you're not a bad person at all.
04:36You remember that article I wrote for the baseball team?
04:39You're actually insane good as a pitcher. Keaton too.
04:41I don't think you got this spot by cheating.
04:43You two both earned your place fair.
04:47I've always wanted to do music.
04:53Baseball's never even been my thing.
04:56I'm only stuck in this sport for two reasons.
04:58My dad's pressure, and Keaton.
05:01I always try to be the best at everything, but he's always outshining me at baseball.
05:06I've always wanted to beat him so bad, but not like this.
05:09I want to beat you legit, fair and square.
05:13Go after whatever you love.
05:17Before the game starts, let's switch spots.
05:24Looks like Lucas.
05:30Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Briar Glen District Championship.
05:33All of Briar Glen's brightest ball players are here today.
05:36Top of the first inning, Titans up to bat.
05:38Stepping into the batter's box, number two, Hank Ream!
05:40Whoa, looks like the Titans are here to throw the Rangers a curveball right out the gate.
05:45The Rangers' starting pitcher is...
05:52Peregrine Black!
05:53Don't make the switch.
05:55What?
05:55Chances are they're sending Hank up next.
05:57He's your weak spot to exploit.
05:59Strike him out.
06:02Peregrine Black, the Rangers' ace pitcher.
06:03No surprise seeing him get the start.
06:05His average fastball sits at 91 miles an hour,
06:07known for pure speed and raw power.
06:12Strike three!
06:14He's out!
06:20Top of the second, Titans strike first.
06:23But the Rangers tie it right back up!
06:25And then take the lead!
06:26Bottom of the eighth, and Felix crushes a two-run home run!
06:29Bottom of the ninth, two outs.
06:30Runners on first and second.
06:32Rangers trail by two runs.
06:33Came for the death of a rustle.
06:38It's Keaton going up against Felix, rivals ever since middle school.
06:47He connects!
06:49Left field!
06:50Deep drive!
