PHILADELPHIA (AP) – A boy sitting in the front row was hit by a line drive late in the game between the St. Louis Cardinals and Philadelphia Phillies.

A spokesman for the Phillies says the boy was taken to a hospital for further evaluation Friday night.

The young fan was seated along the first-base line when he was struck by a sharp foul ball off the bat of Philadelphia’s Domonic Brown with two outs in the ninth inning.

Fans around the boy immediately motioned for medical help. After being helped out of the stands, the boy was transported in the arms of a man on a cart to the first-aid center on the concourse. The boy appeared to be conscious while holding an ice pack on his upper chest close to his left shoulder.
