JOLIET, Ill. - The City of Joliet and the Joliet Slammers are being sued by a fan who was hit by a stray baseball bat.
The civil lawsuit was filed in Will County by Henry Brummel.
He says last year, he attended a Joliet Slammers baseball game at downtown Joliet's Duly Health and Care Field.
Brummel was sitting along the third baseline when he was struck in the face by a baseball bat released by the batter.
He is suing the team and city, accusing them of negligence by not having netting past the dugouts.
