A group of friends, including FaZe Rug, participated in a home run derby challenge. Each contestant had 10 tries to hit a home run, with prizes awarded for achieving certain numbers of home runs. The prizes included a pair of Travis Scott sneakers for one home run, a MacBook Pro for two home runs, $1,000 in cash for three home runs, a Gucci bag for four home runs, and $5,000 in cash for five home runs. If a contestant hit more than five home runs, they would receive an additional $1,000 for each home run.
The contestants took turns trying to hit home runs, with Romel ultimately emerging as the winner with six home runs. As the winner, Romel received all the prizes he qualified for, including the Travis Scott sneakers, MacBook Pro, $1,000 in cash, the Gucci bag, and $6,000 in cash for the fifth and sixth home runs.
