Little leaguer dies after being hit by baseball during practice

[The Straight Story]

An Indiana boy has died after being hit by a baseball during practice.

He was a little boy, with big brown eyes, who thought about baseball 27/4.

Dylan Williams, 8, had already played 31 games on the Union City All-Star Team this year. His life came to a tragic end Tuesday night. He was playing first base when a baseball hit his neck.

“He just fell to the ground,” said Erick Williams, Dylan’s father, as he wiped away tears. “I even yelled at him to get up.”

Dylan’s father, one of the coaches on the team, ran over while another dad tried CPR. Dylan was taken to a Winchester Hospital before being airlifted to Riley Hospital for Children at IU Health in Indianapolis. He was taken off life-support Wednesday night.

Doctors told the family it was an extremely rare circumstance. They don’t know how Dylan went into cardiac arrest.

1. Unfortunately accidents happen

we can't keep our children locked up because we think they are going to be safe, they have to go out and experience life. Baseball can be dangerous, my cousin almost died after being hit in the head with a ball while pitching and he will never be the same person he was before but he doesn't not take risks now because of it, he realizes that everyone has to live their life to its fullest because you could get in a car accident tomorrow and die.
