Did two Ripken 9 year old state tournament games today. On the bases for game two. R1 steals second. As my partner is walking back to get behind home again, he walks right into the BR taking warmup swings with the bat.
He lost about half his left front tooth, chipped the right front and loosened the bottom two front teeth. I could see the root on his left front tooth. Needless to say, I put back on the plate gear and did the last four innings solo.
A similar injury occured to someone I know and it cost around $8000 to fix.
Apparently he didn't eject the batter (don't know if he should have or not?) and he stayed in and finished the game.
Hope I never see that again. They don't pay us enough to take that.....man!
