вЂњHe was in a tough situation,вЂќ Fisher responded,В вЂњbut I knew he had a lot of skills and I had to show faith in him.вЂќ

вЂњGuess what I did that weekend, I struck out nine times and made contact once, a groundball to first base.вЂќ

вЂњThe first thing he did was put me in the three hole my first game back with an eye patch on,вЂќ Gautier recalled. His coach with the South Jersey Young Guns, Pat Fisher, now an assistant at Rowan, maintained the same attitude. He said today weвЂ™re hitting, tomorrow weвЂ™re hitting and this weekend weвЂ™re playing in a tournament.вЂќ I didnвЂ™t feel comfortable because I only had one eye. вЂњI had double vision because my one eye went lazy, and my dad made me play baseball with an eye patch on the whole summer,вЂќ he said. Watch Video: Eastern's Dylan Stezzi is a left-handed catcher Gautier was home walking in May, and by the time July rolled around, his father had him back on the baseball field, despite Gautier wearing an eye patch. If it wasnвЂ™t for his dad, also named Rolando Gautier, heвЂ™s not sure he wouldвЂ™ve gotten past it. Apparently, I took a dime and eight pennies and he said, вЂOh that took too long,вЂ™ that was his response, and my mom said after I did that he spoke to her and said IвЂ™m not sure how heвЂ™s going to make out, if IвЂ™m going to be able to go back to school, if my memory would be good enough.вЂќ

вЂњWe were working on a math problem, and he said from the change I have in my hand, make out 18 cents exactly, so I did it and I got it right, but I didnвЂ™t do it the most efficient way. вЂњWe had a specialist come in while I was up and eating and moving and doing stuff and he came in with change in his hand,вЂќ Gautier said.

He had to learn how to walk, learn how eat all over again. While Gautier did wake up, it didnвЂ™t look like heвЂ™d be the same person. I had to turn back around and walk out the garage and down the driveway for a while.вЂќ вЂњI donвЂ™t get choked up too often or anything like that, very rarely,вЂќ Hower said,В вЂњand I came home (from the hospital), my wife вЂ¦ looked at me and said, вЂWhat the hell is wrong with you?вЂ™ And I went to speak and the words wouldnвЂ™t come out. My parents were telling me when I was in the coma, doctors would come in every couple hours to do chest compressions on my chest to see if it would get me up.вЂќ I had tubes down my throat, wires everywhere until the very second I woke up. вЂњMy parents didnвЂ™t think IвЂ™d ever wake up,вЂќ he admitted. GautierвЂ™s coma had family and friends fearing for his life. вЂњIt is my lowest point in my entire coaching career, no question about it,вЂќ Hower said. вЂњHe panicked and he went to reach and picked me up and I went limp, my arms went back, my head went back and he put me back down.вЂќДЄ state police helicopter had to be flown in to airlift Gautier to Cooper Hospital. вЂњThe first thing he saw was my eyes in the back of my head and blood coming out of both ears. The first teammate to reach Gautier was shortstop Andy Frias. вЂњвЂ¦ I didnвЂ™t wake up till three days later.вЂќ вЂњEverything I do remember is from what everyone else was telling me,вЂќ Gautier said. He couldnвЂ™t, and kneed Gautier in the head. PennsaukenвЂ™s left fielder, Tim Atkinson, also went after it, but when he saw Gautier approaching, he tried to get out of his way. The Indians were playing at Seneca when Gautier, a center fielder, charged a shallow fly ball to the gap. Gautier too, even if he canвЂ™t remember it. Gautier, 27, played under Hower at Pennsauken during his freshman and sophomore seasons, but one fateful day in April of 2008 has haunted Hower for the past 10 years.

It wasnвЂ™t every day the Rancocas Valley High School baseball coach got a chance to manage against one of his former players, and considering what ClearviewвЂ™s Rolando Gautier overcame to reach that opposing dugout, Hower couldnвЂ™t pass up the opportunity.
