WRIGLEY FIELD — A fan was struck by a foul ball during a game between the Chicago Cubs and the Atlanta Braves Sunday.
In the first inning at Wrigley Field, Cubs rookie Kyle Schwarber hit the foul just past the camera well on the first base side, the AP reported. The game was briefly stopped while medics attended the woman who was struck.
The woman was conscious when she was carried away on a stretcher, the Cubs said. A spokesman was unable to comment on her condition.
In the second inning, a fan behind the third-base dugout was struck by a bat, ESPN reported. The fan was treated briefly and didn't leave the seating area.
After a fan was seriously injuried in June, Major League Baseball said it would re-evaluate fan safety this season.
The Cubs and Wrigley Field are 95 percent owned by a trust established for the benefit of the family of Joe Ricketts, owner and CEO of DNAinfo.com. Joe Ricketts has no direct involvement in the management of the iconic team.
