Injuries are a concern in every college athlete’s life. Most do what they can to avoid them but injuries still happen.
For Eastern Michigan baseball shortstop Marquise Gill that nightmare became a reality last season when he broke his wrist and only saw action in four games.
Gill’s injury occurred as he slid into second base, head first, during a stolen base attempt. The second baseman jumped up for the ball and landed on Gill’s left wrist which still bares a scar.

“It was so frustrating,” Gill said.
