On Wednesday, April 8th, 2009, Nick Adenhart pitched 6 scoreless innings versus the Oakland A’s. His father, who missed seeing his games last season due to surgery was in attendance, for what was Nick’s last game. Nick called his dad earlier and asked him to come from Maryland to see him pitch. After the game, when Nick was driving, a drunk driver, who had a BAC level of three times the legal limit, crashed into Nick’s car, killing Nick and two passengers, and leaving another in critical condition. The driver, Gallo, was charged with three counts of murder and DUI. He currently faces 55 years to life.
