A survivor from the deadly school shooting in Uvalde threw out the first pitch Tuesday evening before the Astros-Twins baseball game.
Although Correa said he was excited to return to Houston, he said the night was all about Zamora.
"She learned the shooter lived two blocks from her," said Dr. Ricky Flores, President of the Correa Family Foundation. "I talked to Carlos [and] we all got involved. We made a promise to find her a new place to stay in the meantime, and help them build a new house somewhere they feel comfortable living."
The 10-year-old was all smiles Tuesday meeting her favorite Astros players during batting practice. She also got to meet Correa for the first time.
