Eephus is the debut feature from writer-director Carson Lund's debut feature.
Everything about the small-town New Englanders taking the field for Adler’s Paint and the Riverdogs is instantly recognizable.
The heart of the movie is in the dugout, where the entire team retires when it's their turn at bat.
