All of it went down through the prime of the seventh inning. Orioles catcher Adley Rutschman turned on a 3-2 pitch (he was approach forward of it) from Connor Seabold, sending the baseball immediately at Bigge’s face at 105 MPH, knocking him off his ft.

Ruthschman and Gunnar Henderson, who have been within the on-deck circle, instantly reacted to the scary scenario. The published caught followers and gamers on each side involved for the Harvard graduate as medical professionals tended to him.

Throughout his postgame press convention, Rays supervisor Kevin Money mentioned Bigge was coherent and speaking to the doctor — and that he could be monitored because the night time progressed.

“You are feeling for Hunter and his spouse,” Money mentioned. “I am unable to think about what she and he have been going by way of proper there. It was scary for everyone, none greater than them.”

Because the saying goes, the sport should go on … and that is precisely what occurred (although everybody’s ideas have been with HB). The Orioles received the sport 4-1 towards their AL East rivals.
