McGarry sends Casey to the pitcher's mound and Casey shows off his fast, curve and slow pitches. During the first game with Casey as pitcher, he pitches against the New York Giants and wins. He continues to pitch and records shut-outs in the next two games. The Zephyrs continue to win and make it to 4th place in the standings. During a game, Casey is hit with the ball and hospitalized. Casey barely arrives in time for the next game and during the game he throws easy to hit pitches and they lose the game.
