Gifts: Seeing Braves
Play, Meeting Pitcher
Steven Lentz of Raeford got a
trip to Atlanta and saw the Atlanta
Braves play, and got his picture
taken with Atlanta pitcher Phil
Niekro as presents for his 13th
birthday.
It was Niekro who pitched
Atlanta back into a first-place tie
with the Los Angeles Dodgers
Monday by shutting out the San
Francisco Giants at San Francisco,
7-0, giving up only two hits.
Steven saw the Braves play
September 10, 11 and 12 after his
father, Bobby Lentz, took him on
the trip. His birthday is September
15. Michael Caulder, a Raeford
friend of Steven, shared the picture
gift and saw the games, posing with
Niekro and Steven.
The meeting with Niekro was
arranged by Steven's aunt, Rita
Picklesimer, who works in a base
ball-related business in Atlanta.
She is the sister of Steven's mother.
Niekro, a news report published
Sunday says, has won 15 games in
57 starts and has limited opponents
to 3.91 runs earned on the average
per game through Friday.
Steven, who plays baseball
among several sports, also is a
Brave. He alternated at third base
and pitching for the Braves of
United Carolina Bank in the Hoke
County Little League this summer
and plans to play Tar Heel League
baseball next summer.
He's played in the Little League
