Last night, Texas softball pitcher Miranda Elish was taken to the hospital after she got accidentally pegged in the face with the ball during a NCAA Division I Super Regional game against Alabama.
During the second inning, Texas catcher Mary Iakopo threw to second base to try to get a forceout after Alabama’s Elissa Brown bunted the ball.
Unfortunately, Elish didn’t see the throw and got hit in the face with the ball.— Cork Gaines (@CorkGaines) May 25, 2019

Despite having a bit of a swollen face it appears that Elish is ok.
