A Florida man who was hit in the head by a softball two weeks ago died on Sunday, Christmas Eve, according to local reports.
Specifically, he was hit in the left temple by the ball while he was pitching during a tournament on Dec. 2, the report said.
Fusco was knocked out by the hit, but he later regained consciousness before an ambulance arrived at the scene. Later, he was airlifted to the University of Florida Health Jacksonville for what doctors first believed were non-life-threatening injuries.
He was rushed to surgery. His wife, Taylor, told the outlet that she believed his condition was improving.
“I was worried,” a friend, Taylor Lang, told the Times, “but I was confident.”
However, his condition got worse.
He also suffered a head injury earlier in the morning of the accident, WTSP.
