A woman standing behind home plate at PNC Park in Pittsburgh was injured when a foul ball pushed the protective netting back and struck her in the back of the head.
The incident occurred in the second inning when Starlin Castro of the Chicago Cubs fouled a pitch straight back. The woman can be seen grabbing her head and then falling to the ground.
