FORT WORTH, Texas -- A 7-year-old Texas boy who was a beloved part of TCU's team for three consecutive trips to the College World Series has died following a battle with cancer.
Micah Ahern had undergone more than 10 operations since 2010 after being diagnosed with neuroblastoma, a form of cancer that attacks small children.
TCU coach Jim Schlossnagle posted in a tweet that the Horned Frogs had lost a teammate with Micah's death Thursday. The coach also wrote, "Heaven gained, not just an Angel, but a Warrior!"
