Fan struck by foul ball at Rays that went through LARGE gap in netting

In a scary incident at the Rays game on Friday night, a foul ball hit by Steven Souza Jr went thought a gap in the netting and struck a fan near the first-base dugout.

The incident came in the seventh inning. The ball traveled through a gap that was apparently made for media with cameras to view the field. The fan was eventually taken out on a stretcher and taken to a local hospital. Souza said the fans was conscious and talking.

Here is the reaction from Souza as it happened.
