Zadkiel Agosto swings at a pitch thrown by his father, retired Sgt. 1st Class Rafael Agosto, during a practice session March 19 at the A Avenue baseball field. Nine-year-old Zadkiel, a student at Prince George County’s Harrison Elementary School, has not had classes since March 16, when the county closed its schools due to coronavirus concerns. While Zadkiel has kept busy with school take-home lessons, his father said he has been anxious to break his learning routine so the two took advantage of warm temperatures and an empty baseball field to play catch and hit some ball. “I don’t want him close to that Playstation stuff,” said a chuckling SFC Agosto, noting he prefers some form of physical activity for his son. He also said parents need to be creative and resourceful in finding activities for children while school is suspended, and they should not hesitate to lean on one another to get by. “We’re Americans, we know how to overcome,” he said.
