Frightening End to Game

First of all, the update on the progress of our repairs at the dealership - zero. Frustration is setting in and we are rapidly losing patience with this service department. It is going to be difficult to coordinate anything for the rest of this week with our schedule of games that we have to work during the day. I will talk to them again this morning before we leave for the game at 10 AM.

The game last night will always be remembered as having a frightening ending. In the bottom of the sixth inning, the Cincinnati Reds' closer, Aroldis Chapman, was struck in the face by a line drive and immediately went down, writhing in pain. The crowd of 6814 fans went silent as the trainers from both teams rushed onto the field to attend to him. His father, who was attending the game, also ran from the stands to the mound. For nearly a half hour the trainers and medical staff at the park worked over the player before taking him off the field on a cart:

The game was immediately called, and the fans all left, quietly, at around 9 PM. The early reports were that he suffered fractures of his left eye socket and nose, but will eventually recover. What a horrible way to begin a season for any player, especially the closer for a team. We will most likely get another update today.
