A pitcher for the University of Texas women’s softball team was said to be “doing well” Friday night after being hit in the face with the ball during an NCAA regional tournament game in Alabama, according to reports. Instead, Iakopo’s throw struck Elish squarely in the face, knocking her to the ground. “And we knew she wasn’t OK. She was in a lot of pain going to the hospital.”“She said ‘I’m OK, I’m OK,’ and of course it didn’t look good. After the game, the Texas team tweeted thanks to the fans who were concerned about Elish. As for Iakopo, the catcher who threw the ball that struck Elish, she later smacked a three-run home run to help Texas win, the report said.
