A woman experienced “excruciating injury” to her eye after former Atlanta Braves outfielder Jorge Soler threw a ball into the crowd, a new lawsuit says.
The Georgia lawsuit names the Braves and Soler himself following the incident in which the woman says she was hit by the ball during Game 3 of the 2021 World Series.
The woman, her husband and her brother-in-law were seated in Section 109 in the right-field corner of Truist Park in Atlanta on Oct. 29, 2021, according to the lawsuit. Before the start of the fifth inning, Soler is accused of throwing the ball into the crowd, striking the woman.
