In the bottom of the 6th inning in the Alabama vs Mizzou game, Alabama's SS threw a ball that struck 2nd baseman Demi Turner in the face, at very close range. A very freak accident. There is a hospital right across the street from the Mizzou stadium. At this time, there hasn't been an update on her condition.

Was watching it live. Very scary and the fact that ESPN decided not to show any replays of it at all made it even scarier in my mind. I haven't been able to find any updates online. Hoping for the best for Demi.

As of this morning, their haven't been any social media updates on her condition from @alabamasb or the Alabama facebook page which makes me even more concerned.

Not a medical professional, but noted that she did not appear to lose consciousness, and walked off the field without assistance relatively soon after. Have to say that I have seen many things over the years but nothing like that. Truly in the wrong place at the wrong time.

They said an update would be released later today and I keep checking in on it.

I do know she wears a mouth guard although it looked like she took it on the side of the face. Right cheek bone or jaw may have taken the brunt of it. Man, really hate to see stuff like this and sure hope it isn't as bad as it looked.

Read that she had been released from the hospital but did not attend today's game. I really was worried about her eye based on how she was hit and where they were holding the towel when she was helped off. Say a prayer for the Bama SS - has to be pretty traumatic for her as well.
