Baseball Star Cut Down in Prime



One of Major League Baseball's top rising stars, Nick Adenhart, was one of three killed in a car accident in Fullerton, California earlier today. At age twenty-two, Adenhart pitched six scoreless innings at Wednesday's game against the Oakland Athletics. Hailing from Silver Springs, Maryland, Adenhart was a 2004 graduate of Williamsport High School in Williamsport, Maryland and was drafted by the Los Angeles Angels in the 14th round of the June 2004 draft. One person has been arrested for involvement in the three vehicle crash. Adenhart died at UC Irvine Medical Center after emergency surgery, while the other two victims were declared dead at the scene. No other member of the Los Angeles Angels were involved in the incident. Our hearts and prayers go out to all those affected by this tragedy.
