00:00We move into the 11th inning.
00:04This is now officially the longest Little League World Series game in history.
00:14Oh.
00:16You all right?
00:17Son, you got to keep your eyes open.
00:18Technically, he didn't drop it, it dropped him.
00:23Good to see someone still cares about the spirit of baseball.
00:25What else in life is there, Sam?
00:26I'd say we're looking pretty whooped here, right?
00:30What are you talking about?
00:31We still got a chance.
00:33Peter, no sleeping in the dugout.
00:36Coach, got a proposition for you.
00:38You manage the All-Stars and make a run the Little League World Series.
00:42I manage the worst team in the league.
00:45You got 10 days to whip these boys into shape.
00:49Okay.
00:49Yeah.
00:50Go team.
00:51Let's get our rears in gear.
00:54Let's go.
00:55Not bad, right?
00:56The game can change with just one hit.
01:00Dad, go get mom, go get mom.
01:03Where do we go from here?
01:05It depends how hard you choose to fight.
01:08There's nothing that makes me feel better than watching you all play ball.
01:13But we're awful.
01:14Y'all need something to rally behind.
01:17Something that lights a fire in you.
01:18I got something to rally behind.
01:24My dad.
01:27If we could just win for him, I know he could get better.
01:31Bobby's always been there for us.
01:32Now it's time we're there for him.
01:34One, two, three.
01:35Bobby!
01:37Run!
01:39We never expected to be in this situation, but here we are.
01:41We're going to the World Series!
01:46Welcome to Williamsport, boys.
01:48You sure those are boys?
01:49That guy has a mustache.
01:53They can beat the odds.
01:54So can I.
01:57How you feeling?
01:58My arm's chopped.
01:59It's just a game, Bobby.
02:02It's more than that.
