A well shot, simple story about the reality of the Hollywood Meet Cute trope. Sometimes in life you swing for the fences and miss but that doesn't mean you don't keep trying. Max Arciniega (Krazy-8 from Breaking Bad) plays against type as Will, a nice guy that who lives his life by the rules of baseball. His chance encounter with Michelle, played adorably by Tate Hanyok has him rethinking if 3 strikes really means you're out or if maybe he should run to first on a dropped strike. Yes, this review has stretched the baseball analogy, but baseball, love, and chance encounters are the thrust of this film. It's a nice story told with a bit of heart by independent filmmakers with a limited budget, but what this movie may lack in Hollywood glitz, it makes up for with earnestness.
