Fan at Rays vs. White Sox Game Stretchered Away After Being Hit by Foul Ball

A fan was struck by a foul ball and taken off on a stretcher Friday at Tropicana Field during the Tampa Bay Rays' 1-0 loss to the Chicago White Sox.

According to the Tampa Bay Times' Marc Topkin, "The female fan was sitting in the second row of seats behind the protective netting that was added this season, but the ball, off the bat of Steven Souza Jr., went through a small triangle-shaped opening."

After fouling the pitch off, Souza went into the stands to check on the fan, per Topkin:
