A baseball fan was hospitalized after falling from the stands above the outfield wall at PNC Park in Pittsburgh during the Pirates’ game against the Chicago Cubs on Wednesday, April 30.
The man, who has not been identified yet, fell over the railing during the seventh inning, after the Pirates’ Andrew McCutchen hit the ball through the infield. The man fell about 20 feet, landing on the warning track during play. Trainers, EMTs and police rushed to treat the man quickly. The fan was put on a stretcher and carted off the field.
Another fan jumped from the lower part of the outfield wall to help the fan, reports KDKA.
