I was at the McKinney North/FM Marcus fall game and saw the kid get hurt at 1B. Can any FM posters give me an update on the player injured and how it came out? Thanks

...he stepped onto the bag in a such a weird manner that he fell...the impact from hitting the base and then hitting the ground caused his kneecap to dislocate (left leg). The force of all of that ripped the kneecap tendon (patella tendon)....but instead of tearing the tendon, it ripped pieces of bone from his tibia (bone below the knee) in two places.
He had surgery tonight (Saturday)

Thanks ~ I wasn't 40 feet from it and saw the whole thing. Knew it was pretty serious and so did he when it happened. His first words were "I broke my knee" Hope he has a speedy recovery. Thanks for the update and tell him to hang in there.
Good lord. . .that hurts just reading that. Best of luck in this young man's rehabilitation.
OUCH!
Hope everything goes well with the surgery. At least he has all winter to heal and hopefully be ready for the HS baseball season.
Who won the game?
