Louisville Pitcher Megan Hensley takes hard shot in the circle

[The Maj]

I honestly do not know how any coach can leave a kid on the field after a blow to the head like that... That is irresponsible at best, regardless of the pitching situation...

It takes a special type of coach to risk the well being of their player in an attempt to win a game. Kind of thing back in the day would warrant being tarred and feathered, then run out of town on a rail.

Which inning?

The final game of the series will be played tonight, weather permitting. Curious if the announcers will address the decision to leave her in the game.

Forgot to mention that tonight's game will be on ESPNU.

Sunday. Top of 6.

I have to think her visor buffered the impact.

I would think it was her skull that buffered the impact slightly???

Yikes! Glad it didn't turn our worse. FWIW masks are virtually worthless against preventing concussions and mask or no mask she should have been pulled after a shot like that.

No doubt, but you didn't see any immediate cut (like Paige Lowery) or a reaction like Tori Finucane. I'm just saying I think her visor saved her from a more serious injury. I should have worded that more clearly.
