Normally the last thing on a pitcher's mind is the feelings of the batter he just struck out—unless it's your childhood buddy. Ty Koehn of Mounds View High School and Jack Kocon of Totino-Grace High School are best friends from little league. They went head to head for the last at-bat of the sectionals final. Koehn hurled a fast ball for a called strike against Kocon for the last out, punching a ticket for his team to head to the state championship bracket. But while Koehn's teammates raced to the mound for a team celebration, Koehn headed straight for his friend and embraced him in a heartfelt hug at home plate.
