Errant Ball KO's Charney Sunday, March 6th , 2022 The Marauders equipment manager announced today that he would order an inspection of all the team's training equipment after a pitching machine beaned Chris Charney. The right fielder was briefly knocked unconscious after the machine lobbed an errant fastball directly at his head. Charney, who was clearly caught off-guard by the wild throw, attempted to duck out of the ball's way, but was hit squarely in the side of the head. Fortunately for Charney, he was wearing a helmet at the time. Still, the sheer impact left him lying motionless on the ground for a few frightening moments. "It was scary," said teammate Matt Pfluger. "I've never seen a pitching machine throw a pitch quite like that." Charney was attended to by coaches and teammates and was later taken to a local hospital for observation. He was diagnosed with a mild concussion and may miss a game as a result. "I've gotta admit," Pfluger added, " I'm gonna be a little nervous next time I have to face one of those things!" |
