After years of drug use — and time in jail and a halfway house — Leah Bennett suffered a stroke April 26 and fell into a coma. At the hospital, her son, a baseball star at Holyoke High, felt an array of emotions — anger, guilt, confusion. Bennett died the next day. She was 35.

What happened next was impossibly improbable.

Two days later, in the first game of a doubleheader at Wray that Holyoke had to win, Jaydin pitched a no-hitter.

In the second game, he switched to shortstop and hit four home runs. Four.

Wow.
