ALTUN KUPRI, Iraq — Gray-shirted Brusiks filled the bases in the final inning. The potential winning run — Kamaran Sabir, the team's 14-year-old slugger — strode to the plate.
Kamaran clenched his teeth. The Nawruz pitcher, Diller Fakhraddin, stared back. Parents in the stands nervously wrung their hands. Diller's fastball whizzed in, and Kamaran swung.
Strike one. Strike two. Then, "Strike three," yelled the umpire, U.S. Army Capt. Deron Haught. "You're out!"
