Riverside Senior Nick Bohenek looks like your typical baseball player.
The cool demeanor he shows on the pitcher's mound to escape a jam. The way he glides to run down a ball in the outfield. His smooth swing in the batter's box.
One can't tell that he has a birth defect.
Bohenek was born with just two fingers on his left hand. Yet that hasn't stopped him from doing anything, particularly excelling on the baseball diamond where he helped the Vikings capture the district 2 Class 3A title and advance to the PIAA playoffs. They will face District 4 champion Hughesville in the first round Monday at 4 p.m. at Bowman Field in Williamsport.
“I really don't look at it as a disability,” Bohenek said. “Actually, I forget that I just have one hand. I'm so used to it and I don't let it hold me back in anything.”
Every player has a moment where the game asks who they are.
Nick shows you in the swing…
in the glove work…
in the hustle that never slows down.
Pressure doesn’t shake him.
It sharpens him.
This is discipline.
This is character.
This is a player becoming who he was meant to be.
Nick Bohenek.
