My place of observation was the USM baseball field, known as Towers Field on the Gorham campus where the USM baseball team was taking on Wheaton college at 1pm on Sunday, April 17, 2016.

The day turned very dark when I heard a the horrid crack of cartilage ripped through air like a gunshot. I saw my dad fall to the floor with blood coming out of his rigid nose like a river. Bewildered he sprawls around on the floor trying to nurse his nose and to stop the bleeding. The moment he touches it though he cries out in pain, while his teammates come rushing towards him. “Oh my god what just happened,” my mom says as she runs to the gate.
