Cameraman suffered orbital fracture from rookie's wild throw

The camera operator struck by an errant throw during Wednesday's game between the Baltimore Orioles and New York Yankees suffered an orbital fracture.

Pete Stendel is at home resting and "he and his family appreciate everyone's support," YES Network, for whom Stendel was working, announced Thursday.

Stendel was injured in the fifth inning when Orioles shortstop Gunnar Henderson made an errant throw to first baseman Ryan O'Hearn that hit the cameraman in the head and knocked him out.

The game was delayed for approximately 17 minutes as medical personnel attended to Stendel, who was positioned next to the Yankees dugout.
