On The Today Show on Monday morning, three Yankees players and WWE wrestler John Cena surprised Chris Singleton, a baseball player at Charleston Southern University, who lost his mother in the June shooting at a Charleston church.

The college sophomore will throw out the first pitch at the Yankees game on Monday night and got a little bit of practice in on The Today Show on Monday morning.

Correction: An earlier version of this story said the Charleston church shooting was last month. It was in June.
