Ran into this at a national where one of our umpires assigned to the tournament was an EMT. A girl on one field had a similar play and went down. That umpire was working an adjacent field. We stopped that game to allow her to help the injured player on the next field.

Yes, it put both games behind, but no one really cared nor complained. If they did, I never heard it.
