Kentucky baseball CF John Thrasher has scary collision with outfield wall against LSU in SEC Tournament

There was a scary moment during the seventh inning of LSU baseball's SEC Tournament elimination game against Kentucky on Saturday.

With nobody out and a man on first base in the top of the inning, Tigers catcher Tyler McManus blasted a ball into center field. John Thrasher, the Wildcats' center fielder, ran back and leaped at the wall to try to rob McManus of an extra-base hit, but the ball tipped off of his glove and Thrasher crashed face-first into the wall.

Thrasher fell to the ground and was initially motionless as the ball trickled away from him on the warning track. After he was examined by a trainer, McManus was helped up off of the ground and to the Kentucky dugout with two trainers around his arms in front of a round of applause from the Hoover Met Stadium crowd.

Thrasher is being evaluated for a potential head injury, per the SEC Network broadcast.

The hit allowed McManus would reach third base as LSU would add its first run of the game, making the score 7-1.

LSU was hitless before McManus' triple. The Tigers would add a second run on a sacrifice fly out from Gavin Dugas after Thrasher was escorted to the dugout.
