Viral Video: Slippery Rock HS Baseball Player Gets Opportunity Of A Lifetime

SLIPPERY ROCK (KDKA)-- Two high school baseball teams in western Pennsylvania made dreams come true on the diamond during a recent game.

Neshannock and Slippery Rock were celebrating a combined Senior Day, when the teams decided to insert the Slippery Rock team manager, 20-year-old Nolan Holtz into the batting lineup.

Holtz, who was adopted from China, suffers from a major limp because of bilateral club feet that were never surgically repaired.

Both teams decided, since it was the end of the regular season, Holtz would get a chance to play. According to the New Castle News, Holtz was originally only going to play in the outfield for an inning, but the Neshannock coaching staff was happy to let him bat as well.

Neshannock assistant Coach John Quahliero agreed to pitch to Holtz, who took to the plate in a heart-warming way from videos posted to Twitter.
