At least 6, and as many as 11, victims of the Uvalde school massacre were Little League baseball or softball players, making last week’s shooting the darkest day in league history, officials say.
For hours that stretched into the evening, Eliahana Cruz Torres would practice high-speed underhand throws with her grandfather in a makeshift bullpen he made from store-bought netting in their front yard.
“Every time she would go practice, she was always eager, because she was the type of kid that wanted to do her best,” she added. “She loved everything about the game, whether she was pitching, catching or in the outfield — it really didn’t matter to her.”Eliahana got to pitch in one game, and she was just hours from taking the circle a second time when she, 18 other students and two teachers were killed by a gunman at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas, on Tuesday.
The victims’ names corresponded with 11 in the national registry. Five signed up from 2019 to 2021, and six registered to play this year.
