When you're at a baseball game you have to keep your head on a swivel, even then a foul ball can find you. Just ask Rockies reporter Kelsey Wingert. She took a 95 MPH line drive to her forehead on Monday while sitting near the first base camera.
After 5 hours in the hospital and two days of recovery Kelsey shared a picture of her injuries. The picture shows she still has some pretty good swelling as well as a bunch of stitches.
The good news is that there is no internal bleeding or fractures.
Checking in - Monday, I took a 95 MPH line drive to my head.
The @Rockies & @ATTSportsNetRM have treated me like family. Getting me treatment & to the best hospital ASAP. I was at hospital for 5 hours w/ David Woodman (GM of AT&T SN), his wife, Paula & my producer Alison Vigil. pic.twitter.com/UzhlCzclNE

I had CT scan to check for internal bleeding/fractures & it came back clear, Thank God. I received internal & external stitches. I’ve been staying at my GM’s house. I can’t say enough about AT&TSN & the Rox. I’ve never experienced support like this.
Thank you for the prayers

It sounds like Kelsey will be making a full recovery. That's always welcome news when someone gets hit with a foul ball. Hopefully she'll resume be able to resume her duties soon, maybe with a helmet or behind a screen of some sort.
