By: Cate Kearby

Bennett Long (left) and Blain Eidell (right) are in their neighborhood, Burkhalter Plantation. They began playing "catch" in the warm spring weather. 

Bennett lunges and dives to catch the baseball. His two front hands catch his body weight in front of him in the plush green grass. 

Before restarting the game, Bennett looks back at the camera. He reevaluates his stance to prepare for the next throw. 

Bennett's dog, Dickie, is sniffing around the tire and weeds. Blain in the background continues to throw the baseball to his partner. 

The ball is suspended in midair after a throw from Blain. The two guys continue to throw the ball back and forth in the warm sun. 

Blain and Bennett continue to play catch in their neighborhood field. Bennett reaches toward the sky to catch the receiving ball. 

Jackson Warner jumps into play baseball and holds the yellow bat. He stares into the distance as the others begin to set up another round. 

Jackson throws a light overhead pitch to Bennett. Bennett prepares to strike the ball with the plastic yellow bat. 

After a while of throwing the ball, the bat, baseball, and glove are put to rest momentarily. 

Ty Wood begins playing baseball with the other neighbors. He swung the ball at full force to the batter. 

Bennett begun playing golf in the field and practicing his swings. He wanted to prepare for his golf trip to Myrtle Beach, South Carolina next week. 

Chase Middleton (left) enters the frame as he stares off into his phone. Blain catches the frisbee and jogs off to the left. 

Bennett braces for the impact of the baseball in his glove. Blain throws the ball to Bennett in the distance. 

The neighbors watch off in the distance of the neighbors playing field games. The other dog runs playfully through the yard. 

Blain runs off to snatch the ball up off of the ground. He swings his arms in effort to catch the ball and misses. 

Blain and Bennett reset for a new game of catch. The green, spring grass rests beneath their feet. 

Jackson begins riding his bike around the yard as the boys continue playing different field games. He looks down in his basket to check for his belongings. 

Jackson returns for another game of baseball. Ty looks off into the distance while conversing with the other neighbors. 

Ty makes eye contact with his dog to begin playing frisbee. The dog stares up at his excitedly, ready to play. 

Bennett throws the ball to Blain as the clouds begin to darken the sky. Blain in the distance leaps forward to grasp the ball.
