FWST: TCU baseball team gets lift as ‘Micah’ visits Omaha

OMAHA, NEB. – TCU got a lift from a visit at the College World Series by Micah Ahern, the 7-year-old Arlington cancer patient who has become a part of the baseball program in the past three years, in time to watch Tuesday’s victory against Coastal Carolina.

“Honestly, it was awesome, just him being there,” reliever Ryan Burnett said. “Just puts a smile on your face. Lets you forget about everything. Just go out and play baseball, have fun.”

Micah and his mother, Linda, made the trip after a family vacation. She posted on social media two weeks ago that the family was discontinuing treatment of the neuroblastoma that has affected Micah since he was a year old. He has had many surgeries and procedures since becoming part of the team.

Monday before the trip, Micah’s mother also posted a request for prayer to alleviate spine pain he was experiencing so he could enjoy the trip to Omaha.
