The B Team

Greg McLaughlin

All Braden Shaw wants to do is play ball. Why can't all the parents understand that? Ellie Shaw struggles to raise her son and provide all the great experiences growing up that a little boy deserves. Between her three jobs, maintaining her dilapidated farmhouse and battling the authoritative baseball league administrators in her tiny rural town, she's exhausted and frustrated. Colt Gibson, star of his high school and college baseball teams and former rising college coach needs a rapid escape from the NCAA cheating scandal that crushed his career and ruined his reputation. When Colt rents the studio apartment above Ellie's garage and starts teaching at her son's school, they bond over their shared objective to help Braden make the town's A-team and play the game he loves against the competition he deserves to face. But a pair of old-school league administrators lie, cheat and scheme to deny Braden, Ellie and Colt the opportunity to be selected for the town's prestigious all-star team. Instead, they form a B-team that thrives - in contrast to the competing A-team - on the principle of learning through having fun and succeeding through selfless team spirit, parental support and teamwork.As Ellie and Colt learn to rely on each other, the revelation of Colt's cheating scandal, exploited by the A-team coaches, threatens to destroy everything Colt and Ellie have accomplished, including the dawn of their budding romance.
