I was in the slot, kid hits a screamer just off the ground. Appears to be to my left, but then I see it is hooking toward me. Didn't know whether to go left or right, so I jumped.

Ball hit me on the ankle, nothing broken, but it was ugly & painful for several days.
It scared me pretty badly thinking about getting hit in the head or well... you know!
Just curious, what was your call after the ball hit you?
