She narrows her eyes

Baraka: Alright, Tilly, gimme one straight down the middle. And don't hold back!

She grunts

She tosses the Critterball towards Baraka, who kicks it over the fence... and into Big Coffee

He grunts

Baraka: Home run, Home run, Home run!

Gloria POV

She serves a customer his drink

Gloria: Here's your latte, sir.

The Critterball from earlier hits the top of the cup

They both screams

They spilling latte everywhere

Gloria: Oh! I am so, so sorry.

Jeffrey the Scarf Customer: C'mon, Jeffrey the scarf! We have a scathing review to write...

The customer leaves the premises

He laughing

Baraka: Did you see that, guys?...

She picks up the Critterball

Remy: Oh! That's amazing!

Cricket and Tilly and Baraka and Remy POV

The Green kids and Remy continue to play Critterball

They running across the field

Cricket: We can't believe it! Home run! We're makin' Critterball history!

They slaps the pig's backside; laughing, they goes around the sheep, but is immediately tackled by Tilly

They coughs

Cricket: Good hustle, Tilly.

Tilly: Thank you. Anything goes in Critterball.

He watches from the nearby apartment building

Brett: Man, I've been watching this game for about an hour and I still don't get it. GO TEAM!

She helps Cricket and Baraka up

Gloria: Hey! You kids better keep this on your side of the fence!

Cricket: And a good day to you too, Gloria.

Gloria: Don't you "good day Gloria" me. It would be a good day if this ball hadn't just torpedoed into the café.

Baraka: Oh, no worries. Home runs like that are super rare. Besides, what's a critterball or two between neighbors?

She tosses the critterball back

Gloria: Keep it on your side of the fence.

She leaves

Cricket: Obviously Gloria has no idea how important Critterball is. So... GAME ON!
