The pitch hit Deichmann near the ear flap of his helmet. He had a CT scan late Friday night, and on Saturday morning coach Paul Mainieri said in a text message, "We think he probably has a fracture in his cheekbone."

Mainieri declined to speculate on the severity of the injury or whether Deichmann would have to miss time.

Deichmann's father, Greg Deichmann Sr., told local author Jeffrey Marx that Deichmann broke three bones in his cheek and would require surgery. The Advocate confirmed that report.

Kind of curious about who threw the pitch.

TigerGM•100 months

It was Lange. They only made it through 3 innings and they quit practice for the day. Apparently bad play by everyone and Mainieri was pissed/frustrated with play.

I thought someone said it was the BM boy Frederick.

Play through it! Mask up

Stop practicing now or we won't be able to field a team! 2 players out in a weeks time. Our chances of winning a championship are dwindling and we haven't even played a game! Too many players getting injured in practice in all sports. I know injuries happen, but at least make it count in a real game and not just practice! Very frustrating!

Adama•100 months

This is just moronic.

lsusportsman2•100 months

It is frustrating and it is a concern, but I think you're taking it a little too far.

Grim•100 months

How exactly do you get hit in the face by a pitch? Just turn your head Greg

SirWinston•100 months
