Hope she’s okay.

What are the odds of being hit by a foul ball that way?

They have the protective netting for that very reason. But the netting apparently stretches out and hit her anyway.

Ballparks will now have to put up stronger fencing or nets or plexi glass behind home plate.

Remember a girl got hit by a hockey puck at a Columbus Blue Jackets game a few years ago, and died? If I recall correcly hockey teams increaed the height of plexiglass around the ice after that.

They also installed netting.
