SALISBURY, Maryland -- ON THE ROAD HOME – I had a front-row seat – or I should say a top-step view in the Florida A&M baseball dugout – to witness history being made on Saturday.The count was no balls and two strikes to Bethune-Cookman’s lead-off hitter with two outs in the bottom of the ninth inning at Arthur W. Perdue Stadium in Salisbury, Maryland.
We had gotten the hitter out with breaking balls earlier in the game. But with a six-run lead, I did not want to mess around. Alex Carrasco, our relief pitcher, painted a fastball on the outside corner for called strike three to end the game.
The celebration was on.
