On January 17, 2013, Georgia Southern student Cory Wilson collapsed during class, later passing away due to a cardiac arrhythmia. Wilson is still greatly missed by friends and family, but a memorial baseball tournament started in his name last year is now raising money in hopes of preventing similar tragedies. A baseball fan and player since his childhood, Wilson’s memory now lives on in the ‘Fireball 40’, which begins today at L. Scott Stell Park in Savannah.
