Archie discovers a new Riverdale High student who turns the school's struggling baseball team around: Gene "Scooter" Jackson, a diminutive kid whose incredible speed makes him an incredible shortstop. To take Scooter out of commission, Northfield High's Mean Mike Mapes deliberately spikes him in the leg, destroying his speed.
