When Wilson's character Bobby suddenly falls ill, his son and teammates on the youth baseball team rally around him and find themselves competing among the best in the country in Williamsport, Pennsylvania, at the annual tournament.

"After dedicating the season to a teammate’s ailing father, a group of underestimated youth baseball players from Fort Worth, Texas, takes its Cinderella run all the way to the 2002 Little League World Series — culminating in a record-breaking showdown that became an instant ESPN classic," reads a synopsis.
The movie is based on the real-life 2002 youth baseball team that competed in that year's Little League World Series.
Their hard-fought, 11-inning game ranks among the longest in the tournament's history, according to the Fort Worth Star-Telegram. As that outlet noted in a 2023 article about the film's production, Ratliff, whom Wilson portrays in the film, died from cancer in 2003.
