COLDWATER, MI (WTVB) – Coldwater High School baseball player Zach Rigot is expected to recover after he was hit in the head with a line drive while pitching Saturday afternoon which caused him to suffer a fractured skull and bleeding.
He was pitching in the second inning of a game against Traverse City West at Lowe Field during a tournament Coldwater High School was hosting when he was injured.
On the line drive, it looked like Rigot managed to get a piece of the ball with his glove before he was struck in the head.
Rigot was knocked to the ground but he got back on his feet a few minutes later.
He was later taken to Bronson Methodist Hospital in Kalamazoo.
