Rookie Angels pitches Nick Adenhart, 22, was killed in a car accident shortly after midnight on Thursday morning. Adenhart had pitched six shutout innings on Wednesday night, just hours before the accident. The car that Adenhart was riding in was hit broadside by a drunk driver who ran a red the light. The driver, who fled the scene, had a suspended license as a result of a previous drunk driving conviction.
Adenhart had quite a few fans in eastern Iowa because he pitched for the Cedar Rapids Kernels in 2006. His 10-2 record and 1.95 ERA that year made him understandably popular. Even after he departed from the Kernels, his achievements would make the local news occasionally – sort of a “local boy makes good” (in spite of the fact that he didn’t grow up around here.
