Vulcan Captain Solok brings his starship to Deep Space 9 for repairs made necessary from combat skirmishes. Convinced his all-Vulcan crew is the finest in the fleet, he challenges former classmate and longtime rival Sisko to a baseball game on the Holosuite. With only two weeks to whip his team into shape, Sisko vows he's going to beat Solok — even though Jake is the only other person residing on the station who has ever played baseball.
