Troy Black (left) and his brother Ty Black (right) pose for a portrait Tuesday evening at Walter Fieldhouse. Because Troy is a freshman, this upcoming season will be their first time together as brothers on the Ohio University baseball team.
Troy Black was scheduled to walk across the stage at his Waynesville High School graduation on May 24.
His baseball teammates were planning to wear matching T-shirts that day to commemorate their run to the state title.
But, when the names of the graduating seniors were announced, Troy was nowhere to be found.
On a day he was supposed to be celebrating his own accomplishments, he was celebrating his brother’s.
