RADFORD, Va. -- Radford senior catcher Sarah Himan had a special guest on April 14. In her final home game, Himan's brother Lance Corporal Joshua Himan was in attendance.

Josh last saw his sister hit the game-clinching home run in the Big South Championship game against Liberty on May 9, 2009. He was deployed to Afghanistan shortly after and was severely injured on Sept. 29. He made his first overnight trip since being transferred to the VA Hospital in Richmond.
