This assignment was the first assignment that we had to truly catch a moment. We could not set anything up or influence the situation.
Wes Christensen, 20, has played baseball for eight to nine years; ever since his t-ball days. He now plays on an intramural team at Western after being asked by a friend to join the team. His team was set to play a game on May 3, but the opposing team did not show. Instead the team practiced in a combination of rainy and sunny weather. During his turn to bat Christensen knocked four consecutive balls far out into the outfield. On his last hit he ran around the bases. Little did he know when he was batting that minutes later he would be sitting in the mud. He said later all he could think about was how he missed home plate. “I was mad that I didn’t hit the plate,” Christensen said. “Now I have to go take a shower.”
