21-Month-Old Girl Hit By Bryce Harper Foul Ball At First-Ever Phillies Game

PHILADELPHIA (CBS) — A 21-month-old girl is recovering after being hit by a Bryce Harper foul ball at her first-ever Phillies game Sunday night. In the bottom of the fifth inning, little Lily was hit on the right side of her head with a foul ball, her mother Angelica DiWilliams told Eyewitness News.

Lily was taken by an ambulance to Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, where a CT scan came back all clear. DiWilliams says doctors originally feared a skull fracture because of the amount of swelling.

Thankfully, DiWilliams says Lily is doing OK after being diagnosed with tissue swelling.
