The Pittsburgh Pirates' Major League baseball game against the Chicago Cubs was delayed by 23 minutes on Monday night after a female fan behind home plate was hit in the back of the head by a ball off the bat of Starlin Castro.
The woman was standing in the first row behind home plate with her back toward the field when Castro fouled a ball against the protective screen.
The ball was hit with such force that it struck the fan.
The injured fan was eventually removed from the seating area on a stretcher.
There was no immediate word on her condition.
