A scary moment happened in Friday’s Arizona-Washington game when UA second baseman Reyna Carranco was struck in the face by a pitch from UW’s Taran Alvelo.
Carranco immediately fell to the ground and remained there until she walked off the field with the help of team trainers.
Carranco was removed from the game and taken to a local Seattle hospital for examination, and has been diagnosed with a concussion and facial injury, the UA announced Saturday.
The good news is she has rejoined the team and will be re-examined by team doctors when Arizona returns to Tucson after its three-game series against the top-ranked Huskies.
