Fan hit by foul ball at Tropicana Field released from hospital

A fan hit by a foul ball at Tropicana Field last week was released from the hospital Monday night, the Tampa Bay Times reports.

The woman, sitting in the lower box seats next to Tampa Bay's dugout on the first-base side, was struck in the seventh inning of Friday's game between the Chicago White Sox and Tampa Bay Rays by a ball off the bat of Rays designated hitter Steven Souza Jr.

Souza went into the stands to check on her and said the ball hit her near the eye.
