Lightning Kills Pitcher in Lake Havasu City Opener
A lightning bolt struck Lake Havasu City pitcher John Wade as he wound up for a season opener against Blythe, killing him instantly. Seven others were injured, with two players in critical condition, as a column of fire knocked the infield and outfield off their feet and sent dust a hundred feet into the air. Wade, a 1972 Lake Havasu High School graduate and former all conference player, was among several Lake Havasu teammates hurt. Blythe players were uninjured.
