Blind teenager throws a strike at D-backs game

(CBS) - The best pitch in the Arizona Diamondbacks' win over the Milwaukee Brewers took place before the game even began. Max Ashton threw the ceremonial first pitch - a perfect strike. Max Ashton is also blind.

Max is a graduate of the Foundation for Blind Children. He also has a pretty good arm.

The D-backs would go on to win the game - with a little help from Max's good mojo - forcing a decisive Game 5 against Milwaukee Friday night.
