PART 4: The Final Game
The boys hold a one-time-only tribute game: The Sandlot Kids vs. The Ghost of the Mighty Mutts. Dressed in old jerseys, they play under makeshift lights while the whole neighborhood watches. Benny hits a final home run—this time, with Hercules running the bases beside him.
At the end, Mertle gives Benny the Mutts’ trophy and tells him to “keep the story alive.” Smalls, now narrating from the future, says, “We didn’t just conquer a legend—we became part of it.”
