A 3-year-old girl's skull was fractured after being hit by a line drive during batting practice at Dodger Stadium.
Dodgers catcher Russell Martin was practicing 90 minutes before Monday night's game when his hit hooked into the stands near third base.
The ball hit the child with a sound that Martin said "did not sound good," and she went down. The child was rushed, limp and unconscious, from the stadium immediately after the mishap. Martin was teary and "devastated" by the accident.
A man and woman sitting near the girl carried her to an exit, where stadium medics worked on her.

My God I hope and pray that the girl will be ok
as a parent this sends shivers down my spine
Prayers for the little girl!
Prayers up for the little one... and the batter.
Kids are tough. ...prayers.
I’m the proud owner of a 3 year old litle girl. This is heartbreaking. God bless the little one.
That’s terrible for all concerned, I know if I were the batter I would be devastated and doubly so for the parents and the little girl, prayers for all and may she make a speedy recovery.
Oh Sweet G-d have mercy on this poor child. Please heal her as we pray. Send your Angels to comfort her into full recovery. In Jesus Name we Pray. Amen.
Amen.
Amen!
What a shame.I will certainly pray that she hasn’t suffered any permanent injury!!
“where two are more are gathered in His Name...”
Amen.
G-d is Good. All the time!
Poor kid...Lord have mercy.

“owner” ????
It’s a joke. Calm down & don’t report me to the UN. Those a$$ holes & their “rights of the child” crap will be after me.
I was so touched by your prayer, I posted it on my Facebook page. You must be very close to God to take the time to say a prayer like that for a total stranger. God bless you and thank you for blessing me. I too prayed for the little girl.
God bless.
I agree!
Yes, do pray for the little girl. May God grant her a full recovery.
However, let’s not forget to say a prayer of comfort for the batter as well. I am certain that injuring a fan in the stands is NOT what he intended. Pray that the Lord would comfort him as well. Guilt can sometimes have devastating consequences.
