I don't think so. I believe it was a black worth est. The ball hit the guy in the neck. The guy that hit him was a college kid. I think it was a lot of different circumstances coming together all at once. My thing is if you put a much hotter bat in a more experienced players hands injuries can happen more frequently. People aim at other teams pitchers all season long in comp. softball. That's why a five man infield has become more popular. It's also why pitchers have begun to wear varying types of head gear.
