🔴⚫️ A FAVORITE MOMENT FROM THIS SPRING ⚫️🔴
Now that the school year is over, there’s finally a little time to reflect on some of the moments that made it special.
These photos were taken during Baseball Senior Night at Kent State after what felt like a once-in-a-lifetime fog delay. The lights, the atmosphere, and the wait made everything feel a little surreal.
Somewhere along the way, Lilly Benshoff—whose two older brothers are on the team—decided the game needed a bat girl. Without hesitation, she grabbed a helmet, picked up a bat, and got to work. We’re not sure anyone could have stopped her even if they wanted to. 🤣
What we love most is that nobody asked her to do it. She just saw an opportunity to be part of the moment and jumped right in. That sense of adventure, confidence, and genuine Rough Rider pride made her one of the stars of the evening.
Some kids watch the game. Lilly found a way to be part of it. ❤️🖤
