It isn’t exactly breaking news when a foul ball at a baseball game strikes a fan. Expectedly, it happens quite often. However, at tonight’s Cubs-Pirates game, a fan was hit in the head by a foul ball off the bat of Starlin Castro while trying to find her seat — behind home plate.
You can see the scary moment unfold in the Vine above.
If you’re wondering how this could possibly happen, ESPN’s Jesse Rogers has the details:

A scary moment here in the 2nd as a fan is hit with a foul ball.
Our thoughts and prayers are with her tonight.— Pirates (@Pirates) April 21, 2015
She was taken off by stretcher:
Fan taken off on a stretcher…game starting up again…hopefully it isn't too serious. 1-0 Pirates Top 2
