A little boy adorably battled through the hiccups while singing the Australian national anthem before a baseball game.
Seven-year-old Ethan Hall was performing the "Advance Australia Fair" in front of a packed Cooper's Stadium in Adelaide on Friday night when his diaphragm suddenly began to spasm, News.com.au reported. (http://www.news.com.au/sport/sports-life/sevenyearold-australian-sings-brilliant-national-anthem-with-hiccups/news-story/441595bd7a4816ce975a1d169becacda)
But instead of freaking out, giving up or asking for a glass of water, he acted like a seasoned professional and just carried on with the show.
Video shows umpires and players from both teams -- the Adelaide Bite and Brisbane Bandits -- trying not to laugh as the youngster hiccups (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0S23xyazk90) on almost every other line.
He managed to finish the anthem, and was given a rousing round of applause for his effort.
Ethan, who the stadium announcer said attends Adelaide's Hallmark Music Studio, was later seen receiving high-fives as he ran around the home team's dugout.
His team -- the Adelaide Bite -- couldn't capitalize on his own success, however, and ended up losing (https://au.news.yahoo.com/a/30163350/ethan-hall-young-kid-has-hiccups-during-australian-national-anthem/) the Australian Baseball League clash by 3-2.
