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.
