Winston and Slimer go to the Jaguars baseball stadium to see them play. There, Winston witnesses a supernatural event and tries, unsuccessfully, to convince the guys to investiagete. Winston's research into the event leads to an old Indian legend that involves an ancient battle between the forces of good and evil that takes place once every 500 years. When Winston becomes trapped in the stadium during the ghostly takeover, the guys go to rescue him. However, when they get inside, they find two supernatural forces playing baseball instead of fighting. According to Winston, the two forces choose their method of battle based on their surroundings, which is now housing a baseball stadium. What's more, the two groups are playing for a single human soul. If good loses, the soul must spend 500 years doing evils bidding. The Umpire, who seems to be the judge for this contest, has allowed Winston to play on the side of good since he was there when the battle began, and allows the Ghostbusters to remain and watch. Peter thinks that they are playing for Winston's soul, and that they have to help the good guys win this contest. However, Egon points out that if they try to interfere, good will lose, and Winston will lose his soul. Winston is the last up to bat for the side of good, and faces off against a Mammoth pitcher with a cannon-trunk for a pitching arm. Winston manages to hit the last ball, scoring a home run and winning the game. The Umpire then reveals that the whole thing was a test, that the Ghostbusters had to decide whether or not to interfere and let good win on its own terms. But Winston reveals the biggest secret of all, that they were not playing for his soul, but Peters, and that's why they let Winston play.
