MILWAUKEE (AP) – A woman sitting several rows behind the Milwaukee Brewers’ dugout was injured Monday night when she was hit by a line drive off the bat of Atlanta’s Eury Perez.
The game between the Braves and Brewers was delayed for about nine minutes in the top of the ninth inning as medical personnel attended to the fan.
She was helped to her feet before medics placed the woman on a stretcher and carried her up a flight of stairs to the stadium’s first-level concourse. Her face appeared to be covered with a towel.
After the Braves completed their 5-3 victory, there was no immediate update from the Brewers on the fan’s condition.
“That’s just awful. Our prayers go out to her, for sure,” Milwaukee manager Craig Counsell said. “You hate to see it. Hope she’s able to recover and enjoy a game again. It’s scary. Very scary.”
