After being demoted to Triple A Goro is asked to start for the Cougars on only one days rest. He agrees to do so and learns how to pitch a curve ball in addition to his fastball. The next day he holds the Falcons scoreless for 5 innings, but then Gibson Junior is brought off the bench. Junior hits a 3-run homer off of Goro on his first pitch, and so Goro is removed from the mound. Goro introduces himself to Junior and asks him to tell his father Honda Junior is here to take to the Majors and defeat both father and son. Junior calls Goro's father trash and causes Goro to get into a fight. The end result is a $100 fine to Goro and being released from the team, but the team manager prepares another tryout for Goro with a team in Memphia. Sanchez and Fox escort Goro to the airport, and Sanchez reveals to Goro that when he defeated him he wasn't trying to tell Goro to learn to pitch curveball's, but that Goro's fast ball could be matured into something unbeatable if he has patience and practices mastering it.
