The opposing team of the Coffee Allstars are huddling up for a time out in a Baseball game. The Allstars (Burgundy) are a recreational baseball team which consists of young people of twelve and younger. 

Both teams are getting set in place as the ball is being thrown. "You train them up now, they'll be better when they get older," according to Samantha Riles (Green shirt) who was watching her son play.

Player (1) is seen hitting the ball in the air. The Allstars were up in the score and waiting to hit a homerun. 

Player (17) is seen running when the ball is hit. "It's quite interesting when you watch young people play, they make the game more fun and less chaotic," according to Mr. Hayes, the grandfather of one of the players.

The coaches and staff are in anticipation of another ball that was hit. This was the second half of the game where the ball was hit the farthest, which had the staff on their toes. 


While family and local people are watching, there is another hit on the ball by the opposite team. "I never was really into baseball but watching the kids plays makes it interesting," according to Mr. David Williams, a bystander watching.
