Sudden and tragic loss

Always tough to read our thoughts and prayers are with their family and friends.

On Friday night my wife and I went to Hagerstown to dedicate the new lights at Halfway Little league in Halfway Maryland. This was the field named after our late son, Nick Adenhart. I woke Sunday morning to a text that Brendon and Samantha had died in a car accident. I was heart sick. Brendon was the same grade as my younger son Henry. When we lived in Hagerstown our back yards shared a common fence. He played at Halfway little league and Williamsport High school. Both alma maters of my boys Nick and Henry. Many days I sat on my back porch and watched Henry and Nick have a catch and looked over the fence and watched Brendon and his grandfather have a catch. I spent many evenings talking over that fence with Brendon's grandfather about throwing and pitching. We moved and I didn't get to see Brendon's progression but Nick's high school catcher was Brendon's High school coach, so I was able to follow his progression.

This baseball community has been struck again by a tragic and devastating loss. Please send your thoughts and prayers to the families of these beautiful young people whose loss has left a large hole in the hearts of this community.

The Williamsport Baseball team went out and won the Class 2A state title this past week. A .500 team won 6 straight games. They were without there best pitcher and they played with guts and raw emotion. These young men should be very proud.
