The Boys of Summer

By Maria Angeles Linares

On a beautiful South Florida evening, two residents of A Guardian Group Home and their chaperone made their way to Florida International University.  They had been invited to attend a baseball game.  The home team, the Florida International University (FIU) Golden Panthers were playing the Florida Atlantic University Owls.  It was going to be a great game.  With two South Florida teams playing, it made it hard to pick which team to root for. 

The game was exciting and at times a nail biter.  The teams were well matched and played a close game.  But at the end, the FIU Golden Panthers won with a final score of 7-6.

A great time was had by all and the game a perfect ending to a perfect day.  With everyone tired but happy, the group made their way home.  The Agency for Persons with Disabilities would like to thank the Athletic Department at FIU for their generosity and continued partnership.
