Fenway fan seriously injured after being hit by piece of broken bat [View all]

BOSTON -- A woman has suffered life-threatening injuries after being struck by a broken bat during the Athletics-Red Sox game at Fenway Park, a Boston Police Department spokesperson told the Boston Globe.

The fan, who was bleeding from the head, was carried off on a stretcher after the top of the second inning of Friday night's game. She was hit when Oakland's Brett Lawrie broke his bat on a groundout to second base for the second out of the inning. The victim was sitting with her husband and son at the time, the spokesperson told the Globe.

After the third out, the game was delayed while the fan was tended to in the stands between home plate and the third base dugout. She was wheeled off on the stretcher for further treatment, and there was no immediate report on the extent of her injury.
