The Charleston Southern University Baseball Team Embracing Their Teammate Whose Mother Was Killed In The Church Shooting Is Powerful Stuff

CSU – The Charleston Southern University family’s thoughts and prayers go out to all the individuals affected by the shooting last night at Emanuel AME Church.

“We are especially mourning the loss of Sharonda Coleman-Singleton, the mother of rising sophomore Chris Singleton,” said President Jairy C. Hunter Jr. “Chris is a member of our baseball team. The CSU family is praying for Chris and his family during this painful time. CSU coaches and campus ministers are assisting the Singleton family as they deal with this tragedy.”

Head coach Stuart Lake said the players and coaches are hurting and are praying for Chris and his family. “Chris’s mother was just that parent that as a coach you are proud to have as part of your program. What she brought to our team is immeasurable,” said Lake.

…

Really nothing to be said other than this is an incredibly powerful moment in the wake of an unspeakable tragedy. Also a reminder of one of the most beautiful things about sports – being part of a team that basically becomes your family and gets your back when you need it the most.

RIP Sharonda and everyone else who was killed by that psychotic bowl cutted piece of shit.
