A woman suffered life-threatening injuries after she was hit by a broken bat at Friday night's Boston Red Sox and Oakland Athletics game at Fenway Park, officials told the Associated Press.
The incident occurred in the second inning when part or all from A's third baseman Brett Lawrie's bat flew into the stands and struck her. She was sitting behind home plate, just to the third-base side.
Boston police spokesman David Estrada says that bat hit her on the head.
After the final out of the inning, the game was delayed for quite some time so medical staff could tend to her. She was wheeled off on the stretcher and taken to Beth Israel Medical Center.

A woman suffered serious injuries after she was struck in the face by the shard from a broken bat that flew into the stands in front of horrified fans during the Red Sox game at Fenway Park on Friday night, officials said.
With the fans enjoying the game on a cool evening, and their team leading 1-0 in the second inning, Oakland Athletics batter Brett Lawrie hit a ball and shattered his bat, leaving only the handle in his hands while the barrel of it went screaming into the crowd. It struck the woman, who was sitting with a man and her son near the visitors’ dugout on the third base side, and her screams could immediately be heard by fans and even those listening to the game on the radio.
