Zack Waddell''s baseball IQ makes him one of the Roadrunners'' most important players. When a new kid, Dustin, immediately takes their catcher''s spot, Zack is puzzled. Dustin doesn''t have the skills to be a starter. So Zack offers to help him with his swing in Dustin''s swanky personal batting cages. Zack accidentally overhears a conversation and figures out why Dustin is starting—and why the team is suddenly able to afford an expensive trip to a New York tournament.
