A Fox Sports reporter for Atlanta Braves games was hit by a baseball while reporting on the game from the press area.

Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Odubel Herrera hit a foul ball that connected with Kelsey Wingert’s eye and fractured the socket, in the seventh inning of a March 30 game, according to 11 Alive. She and others tweeted updates on her progress at the hospital.
