All of it went down in the course of the prime of the seventh inning. Orioles catcher Adley Rutschman turned on a 3-2 pitch (he was manner forward of it) from Connor Seabold, sending the baseball immediately at Bigge’s face at 105 MPH, knocking him off his ft.

Ruthschman and Gunnar Henderson, who had been within the on-deck circle, instantly reacted to the scary state of affairs. The published caught followers and gamers on either side involved for the Harvard graduate as medical professionals tended to him.

Throughout his postgame press convention, Rays supervisor Kevin Money mentioned Bigge was coherent and speaking to the doctor — and that he could be monitored because the night time progressed.

“You feel for Hunter and his wife,” Money mentioned. “I can’t imagine what she and he were going through right there. It was scary for everybody, none more than them.”

Because the saying goes, the sport should go on … and that is precisely what occurred (although everybody’s ideas had been with HB). The Orioles received the sport 4-1 in opposition to their AL East rivals.
