Kaiser Carlile was taken to a Wichita, Kansas, hospital Saturday after suffering blunt trauma to the head and he died from his injuries the next day. His injury triggered an outpouring of support from the Kansas sports community and sympathy from around the world.
Kaiser Carlile, a 9-year-old bat boy in Kansas, died on Sunday after being struck in the head by a player's swing.
Kaiser was a bat boy with the Bee Jays, a semi-pro baseball team from the town of Liberal, Kansas. The injury occurred as the team was playing on Saturday in the National Baseball Congress World Series.
Kaiser was hit in the head as a player was warming up in the on-deck circle. The umpire, Mark Goldfeder, happened to be a veteran paramedic and applied treatment until an ambulance could arrive, The Wichita Eagle reported.
At the urging of the Carlile family, the team played on and won the game.
The Bee Jays, with the permission of Kaiser's parents and with "much sorrow and a very broken heart," announced his death on Sunday via their Facebook page:
