Before last night’s baseball game between the Tampa Bay Devil Rays and Boston Red Sox, nine-year-old Alayna Adams was given the privilege of throwing out the first pitch because her father had been deployed overseas to Afghanistan. Adams was presented with a video of her father saying that he’d see her soon.

Little did she know that she’d be seeing her sooner than expected.

California high school baseball team saves young girl’s life

DigitalSports — Mon, 13 May 2013 13:39:42 +0000

Sports are generally known for their uncanny ability to utilize teamwork on the field. Without that cohesion, games become more difficult to win; runs, goals, and scores become harder to come by; and resentment builds. But what the Valley High School (Ca.) baseball team did last Wednesday took teamwork to a whole other level.

During their last practice of the season, the Valley High baseball club heard screams coming from the parking lot. When they looked over, they saw a mother accidentally back her car up over her daughter, pinning her to the ground. Understanding the severity of the situation, the 16 varsity and junior varsity members rushed over to lift the car and the girl to safety.

According to the Elk Grove Patch, head coach Brett Sawyer knew his guys would rise to the occasion.

“To be honest, we might not have the best baseball team around, but we sure do have a great group of guys,” Sawyer said. “They just knew what to do. They were all raised right.”

There is no doubt this baseball team saved this young girl’s life.

Check out this image of Tampa Bay Devil Rays reporter Kelly Nash. Nash took a picture of herself during the Rays’ batting practice, thinking that she was safe from any baseballs being hit her way. However, what Nash captured in her image was stunning. A baseball was hit in her direction and right at the time she snapped the photo, she got a shot of the baseball that nearly hit her in the head! Nash escaped without injury but will definitely be more aware next time.
