In this charming romantic comedy, LOVE AND BASEBALL, a chance meeting sparks a connection between Will and Michele. But, as with any great baseball game, love doesn’t always come easy, and due to poor timing and life’s realities, they strike out not once, but twice. When fate gives them one more shot at the plate, will they hit it out of the park or miss?

This heartwarming play shows that love, much like baseball, is a game of luck, skill, and perfect timing. LOVE AND BASEBALL celebrates the power of connection, the force of love, and the admiration of a sport that’s played like an art form.
