A woman suffered “significant and excruciating injuries” when then-Atlanta Braves outfielder Jorge Soler threw a ball into the stands during the 2021 World Series, according to a lawsuit she filed last week.
The incident occurred on Oct. 29, 2021, just before the start of the fifth inning, when Soler, after completing warm-up tosses, threw a ball into the seats, according to the civil action filed in Georgia's Cobb County Superior Court.
Norris, her husband and brother-in-law were seated in the lower deck of Atlanta’s Truist Park, in Section 109 by the right field foul pole, when she was struck, her attorney, Susan Shaw, wrote in the lawsuit.
