Heart of a Champion

The first varsity baseball game, Seth finds out that he has been elevated to playing second base on the first team. He is full of jitters, but Jimmy calms him down. In his first at bat, Seth walks. He makes it around to third base before the side is retired. The opposing team gets three runs and holds the lead before Jimmy and Todd get consecutive hits and inspire Woodside to take charge of the game, winning 10-3. Jimmy tells Seth he is thinking of inviting his dad to come watch him play. 

During the second game, the team’s sophomore pitcher is having a bad day. Woodside is down 6-2 when a reliever pitcher is subbed in. The team manages to pull to within a single run before their last at bat. Seth ends up at bat with two on base and two outs. He gets a hit, and the team wins 7-6. His teammates treat him like a hero. Jimmy tells him that there is going to be a celebration that night, meaning drinking. At first Seth is excited, but then becomes afraid they will be discovered and kicked off the team. He also remembers the promise he made to his mom.
