Monks at Bat

Monks at Bat celebrates the unlikely bond that has developed between a group of Buddhist monks and nuns and a close-knit community of lobster fishermen in a picturesque Cape Breton town. Every summer, the fishermen compete in a softball game against Gampo Abbey. With a roster full of inexperienced players and second-hand equipment, the monks are perennial underdogs... with big hopes. 45 minutes, 4:15 p.m.
