Goofs[]
Goober is addressing the team giving them a big pep-talk right before they take the field. In the background Mount Pilot is still on the field warming-up, taking fielding practice. The camera switches angles for a few seconds then switches back showing Mayberry taking the field. The Mount Pilot team has disappeared completely in the matter of a few seconds ...no wonder they won with speedy players like that.
