'Be like Pete': Oaks Christian softball carries on in memory of Coach Ackermann
Briefly

They still line up their gloves in a neat row along the third-base line before practice, still assemble in rows to give earnest handshakes and fist-bumps to every coach after practice.They still sprint out of the dugout before games and wave to fans after games.Still.Still.Still.Four months after he died, the Westlake Village Oaks Christian High softball team honors every Pete Ackermann custom, still speaking in the present tense of their late coach like a beloved grandfather.
