GCL Mets 1B Manuel Hilario was injured in a horrific collision today that was so bad, that the game was suspended.
7:04pm -
Mets Minor League infielder Manuel Hilario was airlifted to a hospital Friday after a collision at second base sent him into a seizure during a Gulf Coast League game. The Mets released a statement Friday evening that indicated that a CT scan appeared to be normal and that Hilario could be released as soon as Saturday.
Hilario collided with GCL Nationals second baseman Younaifred Aguero while trying to break up a double play in the bottom of the fourth inning of the game played in Viera, Florida. According to eyewitness Matt DeRosier, the 22-year-old Dominican first baseman hit his head on Aguero and then again on the ground, leaving him unconscious for about 10 minutes.
"It was the scariest thing I've ever seen on a baseball field," said the Nationals reliever DeRosier, who was in the GCL Nationals' dugout when the injury occurred. "We prayed for him -- we had a big team prayer on the field."
