KANSAS CITY, Kan., August 2 (Reuters) - A 9-year-old batboy for a Kansas baseball team died on Sunday after being accidentally struck in the head by a player taking practice swings while waiting for his turn at the plate, the team said.
Kaiser Carlisle was knocked unconscious by the blow to the back of his head from a batter warming up during a game on Saturday in Wichita, bringing play to a halt as emergency medical personnel rushed onto the field, the Liberal Bee Jays baseball team said.
He was taken to hospital in critical condition and died on Sunday evening, the team said in a statement on its Facebook page.
