A fan injured during a scary incident in Thursday’s Rockies-Padres at Petco Park appears to have escaped serious harm. A woman was hit in the head by a bat that flew out of the hands of Padres pinch hitter Hector Sanchez in the ninth inning.
The woman received medical assistance in her seat before being transported to the hospital and the game was delayed for about 13 minutes, according to The San Diego Union-Tribune. Her husband also was hit by the bat but wasn’t injured.
A volunteer EMT sitting two rows behind the woman came to her aid immediately, telling the newspaper that the bat “left about a two- to three-inch laceration with indentation, but she didn’t lose consciousness.
