Narrative:

On taxi out we were planning runway 22L and received runway 28R A9; T; north; B. Hurry up and get in front of the 767 under tow. Just as I was looking at the taxi diagram; ipad went blank in the power save mode. I continued while trying to get the ipad back up and turned on bravo instead going to tango. Co-pilot's head went down to change runway in the box. About the time I noticed we were on the wrong taxiway; so did ground. We went down to A13 and back around to get on tango.
