A 3-year-old girl in a crowd watching the Los Angeles Dodgers take batting practice was struck the head by a foul ball on Monday and was due to have surgery yesterday. Dodgers catcher Russell Martin was practicing 90 minutes before Monday night’s game when his hit hooked into the stands near third base. The ball hit the child with a sound that Martin said “did not sound good,” and she went down. The little girl was rushed, limp and unconscious, from the stadium immediately. Martin was teary and said he was “devastated” by the accident. The girl’s injury is not believed to be life-threatening but it was not clear if she would have any long-term disabilities, said Los Angeles Dodgers spokesman Joe Jareck.
