Bell Rung

East Longmeadow’s own Nick Ahmed just took out home plate umpire Kerwin Danley. Ahmed swung at a pitch up and in, and fouled it straight back into Danley’s mask. The replay showed it hit the mask right between the eyes. Danley did not go down, but he was bent over for a while, and the came out of the game. According to the broadcast, Danley has suffered concussions before, so they’re going to be very careful and work with a three-man crew.

Danley Hit

Umpire Kerwin Danley took a pitch off the temple of his home plate mask and has left the game. The pitch from Tyler Chatwood bounced off the plate, hit the arm of the catcher, and then Danley’s head. He stayed in for an inning, then came out of the game. He looked pretty shaken at the time.

The Reds broadcast notes this is at least the third time Danley took a serious shot to his head. He was once carted off the field on a stretcher after being hit by a broken bat.
