During Monday’s night game between the Cubs and Pirates, a foul ball off the bat of Starlin Castro struck a woman behind home plate in the side of the head. The woman went down immediately from the impact. The game was delayed for more than 20 minutes as medical personnel attended to her.
The video is pretty brutal.

An update on the woman from a writer at PNC Park.
Woman hit in head with Castro's foul ball taken from field. Appears to be conscious. Friend next to her gives thumbs up to crowd.

Needless to say, that net has far too much give.
