FROM THE ONU WEBSITE - When international student Kai Kawaguchi first learned he was going to study in the United States, he knew he had to make it to a Major League Baseball game.
But he never dreamed he would snag a home run ball with his own two hands.
Thanks to Ohio Northern – and a little bit of luck – that’s precisely what happened.
