ESPN.com Picks Up Paino Story

ESPN.com writer Wayne Drehs published a piece on the Oswego State Lakers baseball team today. The article touches on the accident during a recent game in which coach Frank Paino was struck in the head by a line drive. Click here for the story. Here is an excerpt:

The ballpark fell eerily silent, the only noise a wailing siren from an ambulance that couldn't arrive fast enough. Players fell to their knees. Parents and fans did the same. No one said a word, but nearly everyone feared the worst.

"I didn't think he was going to make it," said St. John Fisher pitcher Justin Lutes.


"It was a no-brainer that this could end up real bad," added Fisher coach Dan Pepicelli.


And then there was State University of New York at Oswego junior Dan Pecora. Said Pecora:
"I thought I had killed my coach."
