CHICAGO (AP) -Hospital officials in Chicago said a 7-year-old boy whose skull was fractured by a foul ball at Wrigley Field is recovering well and expected to go home.
Dominic DiAngi is scheduled to be released from Children’s Memorial Hospital later Wednesday.
Last Thursday, he was sitting behind the Cubs’ dugout during an afternoon game when a foul ball off Ted Lilly’s bat struck him in the head. Paramedics took him to Children’s Memorial where he was in intensive care. He regained consciousness on Friday and doctors said he was steadily improving throughout the day.
The game was the first major league game the boy attended. Lilly and Cubs first baseman Derrek Lee visited the boy Saturday at the hospital.
