Missouri softball pitcher Tori Finucane hit in head by line drive (Video)

Missouri softball pitcher Tori Finucane was hit in the head by a line drive during the second game of her team’s super regionals series against UCLA on Sunday and was taken to the hospital.

Finucane, a sophomore, was pitching in relief of starter Paige Lowary when she was hit in the fourth inning. UCLA’s No. 9 hitter Kylee Perez, who nearly took Lowary’s head off with a line drive up the middle earlier in the game, sent a screamer right back at Finucane, who was not able to duck in time.

Video showed Finucane just missed catching it, too:

She went down immediately and was bleeding from her face, and she had to be helped off.

Missouri softball provided a few updates on her condition:

Finucane has not tweeted since the incident, but it sounds like she will be OK. Unfortunately her team fell to UCLA 10-6 and was eliminated from the NCAA Tournament, while the Bruins advanced to the Women’s College World Series.

We wish Finucane the best in her recovery.
