East Tennessee State baseball may have lost in the Southern Conference Tournament, but at the very least, it did so in style. That’s because the Bucs’ outfielder Aaron Maher and the batboy have moves:
Maher’s run gave his team a 5-3 lead in the seventh inning, and though the Bucs would fall, 8-6, to Furman, the moment called for a handshaking, hit-dem-folks-doing celebration.
After trotting home, 6’4, 220-pound Maher hoisted up the coach’s son so he could flex midair:
SHOW ‘EM KID!
Then, when he’s back to his preteen height, the duo hits dem folks in unison because why the heck not:
This is how you stunt correctly, and I’m very here for future Maher-batboy dance trends.
